According to the USA assessment, CU has the 7th-most difficult non-conference schedule in the nation. Thoughts?
- And it's not going to get any easier ... TCU, at Air Force, at Minnesota next year. "If you want to be the best, you have to play the best" - Bill McCartney. Suck it up and win the damn games! (43%, 100 Votes)
- Not a surprise. With a top ten opponent in Texas A&M, and a Minnesota team which won 11 games in 2019 ... few other schools are willing to take on that challenge (32%, 75 Votes)
- Perhaps it's time - as much as CU is able under its current contracts - to start dialing back on Power Five non-conference games. It's harder to get to bowls if you start 1-2 in Sept. half the time (25%, 57 Votes)

CU receives a commitment from 6'1", 175-pound defensive back Joshua Wiggins. Thoughts?
- A three-star defensive back with good size (6'1"), offers from SEC schools, and the advantage of year-round football training and playing in Texas. What's not to like? (43%, 103 Votes)
- Five of CU's eight recruits from the Class of 2022 are from Texas, and four of the eight are defensive backs. The focus of the coaching staff for this Class appears to be clear (38%, 91 Votes)
- Once again, a three-star recruit with only two other Power-Five offers. I thought that the 2022 Class would be a buyer's market, and CU would get higher rated recruits (19%, 43 Votes)

Transfer Portal Purgatory: Only 26.5% of Power Five entries into the Portal have landed in Power Five programs. Thoughts?
- I'm just interested ... With that many players out there, shouldn't there be one or two offensive tackles/defensive backs for CU to pick up before Fall Camp starts? (51%, 92 Votes)
- It's been predicted for some time. Players got some bad advice, and now are paying the price. I feel for them, but supply greatly exceeded demand (28%, 50 Votes)
- This will probably have a chilling effect on the Transfer Portal, at least for the next few years, until the COVID classes have been diluted out of the system (21%, 38 Votes)

CBS Sports projections has CU winning two non-conference games ... and two conference games. Thoughts?
- It is what it is. Until CU can string together a series of winning seasons and bowl appearances, the default positions for preseasons prognosticators is to predict CU to fail (77%, 157 Votes)
- Wouldn't mind the 2-1 record in non-conference play (wins over UNC and Minnesota; loss to Texas A&M), but if the Buffs can beat Minnesota, they can will more than two Pac-12 games (14%, 29 Votes)
- This is getting old. CU went 4-2, including a blowout loss in a bowl game. Oregon went 4-3, including a blowout loss in a bowl game ... and the they're picked to win ten games. Anti-CU bias continues (9%, 19 Votes)

Pac-12 Athletic Directors discussing an eight-team conference schedule; elimination of divisions. Thoughts?
- Makes sense. If other conferences stick with an eight-game conference schedule, it will be more difficult for the Pac-12 champion to escape unscathed ... and that could cost the Pac-12 playoff bids (48%, 131 Votes)
- I can see the eight game conference schedule (if other conferences won't go to nine), but I'd hate to see the elimination of divisions (who wants an Oregon/Washington rematch in December?) (39%, 107 Votes)
- I like the elimination of divisions (helps to secure the highest-ranked champion), but it will be tough for teams in the west to come up with quality non-conference opponents (13%, 34 Votes)

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!!
‘SkoBuffs!! Drub the Nubs.
Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.
Did Coach Hagan just let the cat out of the bag regarding Colorado’s starting QB?
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??? 🙂
