What do you find to be the most interesting factoid about the proposed 12-team playoff?
- That CU would have been a No. 10 seed in the 2016 playoffs, and would have traveled to Norman to face No. 7 Oklahoma (tough game - but I would have liked to see it!) (52%, 80 Votes)
- That, if Notre Dame remains independent, that even a No. 1 ranked Irish team would be ranked no higher than No. 5 in the playoffs (would not be entitled to a bye) (38%, 59 Votes)
- That in only three of the past seven seasons (had there been a 12-team playoff) would all four of the top teams been conference champions (meaning higher ranked teams could be slotted No. 5 or lower) (10%, 16 Votes)

Former CU quarterback Sam Noyer announces that he is transferring to Oregon State. Thoughts?
- Well, Noyer is from Beaverton, so he's heading home for his final season. Maybe he just wants to be closer to home ... or to try out for safety in Corvallis (45%, 74 Votes)
- I wish him well, but I don't want his return trip to Boulder on November 6th to be his Homecoming. CU has enough to worry about without having to face its former quarterback (35%, 57 Votes)
- Curious. Oregon State seems to be in a similar situation at quarterback, with last season's starter Tristan Gebbia sitting out the spring with an injury (hamstring). Is the job really open? (20%, 32 Votes)

The College Football Playoff working group formally recommends a 12-team playoff. Thoughts?
- We'll see how it plays out. Will it dilute the SEC title chase? Probably. Will it give hope to G-5 schools? Yes. At least CU now has a straight path to national relevance (46%, 103 Votes)
- I like it. It all but guarantees the Pac-12 nothing less than a home playoff game for its champion. This will help keep the Pac-12 as a player in the national conversation (36%, 79 Votes)
- Not a big fan. I would have preferred six- or eight-teams. This will seriously dilute the value of an Oregon/Ohio State September matchup. This is all about getting the SEC and Big Ten more teams in (18%, 40 Votes)

A month after TCU safety Atanza Vonger committed to transfer to Colorado, he has reentered the Transfer Portal. Thoughts?
- What's the old saying? "You can't miss what you never had". Vonger never enrolled, and is sounds like there may have been some off field issues in getting him here. Move on without looking back (74%, 190 Votes)
- A tough loss. Vonger was a former four-star prospect. He also had three years of eligibility remaining, and was a transfer in a position of need. Sorry to see him off the board (14%, 36 Votes)
- I'm just interested to see how CU uses the new available scholarship. Hopefully, there is another quality defensive back out there looking for a home. Fingers crossed (12%, 32 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??? 🙂
