Tad Boyle's Buffs stun No. 2 UConn, 73-72, in the second round of the Maui Classic. Thoughts?
- An amazing win for the Buffs! The preseason was supposed to be some easy wins (plus tournament losses) to help pad CU's record for a tough Big 12 conference schedule. Quite the pleasant surprise! (50%, 122 Votes)
- If nothing else, this will give the Buffs confidence when they go up against the likes of Kansas, Iowa State and Houston. Hopefully, a confidence boost for a team still getting to know one another (44%, 108 Votes)
- Yes, UConn is the two-time defending champion, but each season is different. UConn lost to Memphis on Monday, so this may not be a banner year for the Huskies. Time will tell if this is a huge win (6%, 15 Votes)

How would you rate CU's chances of making it to the Big 12 Championship game?
- Low to Medium. CU had its chance to control its own destiny, and have a ticket punched by Friday afternoon. The other three teams are all favored to win also, and CU needs two of them to lose (56%, 158 Votes)
- Don't care, actually. I'm just interested in seeing the Buffs finish strong, and take care of business against Oklahoma State. Get to 9-3, tie for the top spot in the Big 12, and see what happens (43%, 121 Votes)
- Medium to high. Of the four 6-2 teams, CU has the easiest game, and it wouldn't be a surprise if Iowa State lost to K-State, and either ASU loses to its bitter rival Arizona, or BYU falls (again) (1%, 4 Votes)

No. 23 Colorado opens as a 16.5-point home favorite over Oklahoma State (Friday, 10:00 a.m., MT, ABC). Thoughts?
- Did you notice that OSU started a freshman QB last weekend, and scored 48 points (and Ollie Gordon went for 153 and three scores)? Look past the Cowboys at your own peril, they have nothing to lose (61%, 130 Votes)
- I see the Buffs winning, and winning comfortably, but it won't be easy to start. With an early kickoff, and a cold morning (around freezing at kickoff), another slow start by CU will keep it close (27%, 57 Votes)
- A big number, but I think the Buffs will cover and win going away. CU has a title berth to play for; OSU is playing out the string. Angry Buffs in a rout (12%, 27 Votes)

Kansas 37, No. 16 Colorado 21. Thoughts?
- The Jayhawks scored on its first seven drives (and would have gone eight-for-eight if they needed another score). A very sad effort by the CU defense (45%, 136 Votes)
- The Buffs still have a great deal to play for, including a possible Big 12 title berth. I know the haters will love this result, but an 8-3 record is still the envy of much of the country (34%, 103 Votes)
- I do appreciate the Buffs fighting back from a 17-0 deficit to make it a 23-21 game in the third quarter. It's been a great run, and there are still great goals ahead for this team. Shake it off (21%, 60 Votes)

It's time! Your prediction for No. 16 Colorado at Kansas (1:30 p.m., MT, Fox)
- There is a reason that the Buffs are only favored by a field goal. Forget the records, Kansas is playing now like the ranked team they were in preseason. Buffs win, but it will be a nail-biter (60%, 141 Votes)
- The Buffs have won four straight by double digits, and I don't see this playing out any differently. Kansas (like other teams before them) may start out hot, but Buffs will take over and pull away (31%, 73 Votes)
- The luck train finally runs out for the Buffs. It has been a great run, and a great season, but CU finally stubs its toe on the road, and falls in a heart-breaker to the Jayhawks (9%, 20 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??? 🙂
