CU holds the lead against No. 5 Texas A&M for over three quarters, but ultimately falls, 10-7. Thoughts?
  • A missed field goal, two quarterback sneaks at the five yard line ... the Buffs had their chances to win this game. The coaches cost the players a chance to win (46%, 223 Votes)
  • It hurts right now, but every Buff fan should be optimistic about the rest of the season - and the Karl Dorrell era. This team is going to be good, and soon (41%, 199 Votes)
  • I am so proud of this team. A 17-point underdog playing against one of the top teams in the nation, the Buffs showed that they are for real (13%, 68 Votes)

It's time! Your prediction for Colorado v. No. 5 Texas A&M (1:30 p.m., MT, Fox)
  • The Buffs are better, but they are not yet ready for the national stage. I can see the Buffs covering the 17-point spread, but the Aggies will likely be in control throughout (49%, 126 Votes)
  • I have a bad feeling about this. The Aggie defense will harass Brendon Lewis into mistakes. It will be a rout - I just hope the Buffs come out with some positives (and no injuries) (27%, 70 Votes)
  • This team has been building towards this game for nine months. The coaching staff will have this team ready, and the crowd will be electric. Buffs shock the college football world with an upset! (24%, 60 Votes)

Four Pac-12 teams are double-digit underdogs this weekend. Which of the four has the best chance at an upset?
  • Colorado v. No. 5 Texas A&M (Buffs are a 17.0-point underdog). Hard to justify, I know, but I have a feeling about my Buffs. CU wins! (46%, 127 Votes)
  • California at TCU (Bears are 11.5-point underdog). Cal did lose to Nevada, but will rebound. Cal has enough weapons to stay with the Horned Frogs, and pull off the upset (32%, 90 Votes)
  • No. 12 Oregon at No. 3 Ohio State (Ducks a 14.5-point underdog). The Ducks are projected to be the Pac-12 champions, and will come to play against the Buckeyes (14%, 38 Votes)
  • Stanford at No. 14 USC (the Cardinal are 17.0-point underdogs). David Shaw will not be embarrassed two weeks in a row, and I'm not convinced USC will be a dominant team. Stanford wins! (8%, 24 Votes)

The Redbox Bowl is cancelled, reducing the number of bowls with Pac-12 tie-ins to six. Thoughts?
  • Actually, we'll have to see how CU gets through this next stretch - A&M; Minnesota; ASU; and USC - before we can start worrying about a winning record and a bowl berth (82%, 202 Votes)
  • While I wouldn't be excited about CU playing in this bowl, the reality is that the Buffs need as many Pac-12 bowl tie-ins as possible, as CU will be at the bottom of bowl pecking order (11%, 26 Votes)
  • What, me worry? Only six Pac-12 teams avoided losses last week, and CU was one of them. Ask the Washington and Bay area schools if they are concerned about bowl tie-ins right now (7%, 17 Votes)

The most interesting news of the day for me was ...
  • That DL Mustafa Johnson is back with the team and practicing. We won't get him on the field for a few weeks, but this is still a big bonus for the defensive line this fall (45%, 141 Votes)
  • That a sportswriter in Tennessee actually voted Arizona as the No. 20 team in the nation. I'm sure she meant ASU, but this just goes to show how little attention sportswriters pay to the Pac-12 (30%, 95 Votes)
  • That OL Frank Filip may be available as soon as the Minnesota game. When Coach Dorrell said Filip would be out a few games, I was afraid that was just overly optimistic coach-speak (25%, 78 Votes)

  1. The Buffs need to wear the silver and gold that are the official school colors. Black jerseys are OK as the’ve been around for a long time, but out with the black helmets–and the white ones too. Gold helmets with silver pants, alternating with silver helmets and gold pants would be good. Nix on all black and all white!!

  2. Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.

  3. Wouldn’t mind the Cheez-It Bowl at all, as I have connections at Kellogg’s (owns Cheez-it) who could get me tickets!! Is that Cheezy??? 🙂
