CU is ranked No. 24 in the latest Associated Press men's basketball poll. Thoughts?
- Let's hope that this doesn't work against the Buffs as it has in the past - as soon as recognition comes, the Buffs lay an egg. Take care of Arizona State, and recognition will take care of itself! (55%, 138 Votes)
- I'm just glad to see CU back in the polls. Just the 53rd ranking in school history (and 22nd in Tad Boyle's tenure). Good for national recognition - and hopefully good for future recruiting! (32%, 82 Votes)
- Overdue recognition for this team - congratulations, Buffs! Now, if the bracketologists will recognize CU as a Top 25 team, an appropriate seeding (No. 7 seed or higher) will be forthcoming (13%, 33 Votes)

What is the ceiling for the 2020-21 CU men's basketball team?
- I can see the Buffs making it to the finals of the Pac-12 tournament, and picking up CU's first NCAA tournament win since 2012. A nice step forward for the program (54%, 145 Votes)
- A run to the Pac-12 championship - there isn't a team the Buffs will face in Vegas that they haven't beaten - and a trip to the Sweet Sixteen! The sky is the limit this season! (30%, 81 Votes)
- What the Buffs give (like this past weekend), the Buffs take away (Washington, Cal, Utah). I hope that the Buffs are better than one-and-done in Vegas and Indy, but I can foresee early exits in both (16%, 45 Votes)

Buffs finish on a 15-4 run to take down UCLA, 70-61. Thoughts?
- McKinley Wright for Pac-12 Player-of-the-Year! Forget the NCAA tournament bubble talk - CU is now a lock! Time to make travel arrangements for Indiana. Well done, Buffs! (45%, 123 Votes)
- This may be the best team in the 11-year tenure of Tad Boyle ... but ... the proof will come in the NCAA tournament. We'll see how the Buffs do against the big boys in a couple of weeks. (30%, 81 Votes)
- I don't want to discount the NCAA tournament talk, but did anyone else notice that CU is 8-2 against the top six teams in the conference (1-1 v. non-playing UA)? Let's go get another Pac-12 title!! (25%, 70 Votes)

Which quote from defensive coordinator Chris Wilson do you like the best?
- Vision for the team: “That we’re physical — the most physical defense in the Pac-12. Two, is that we’re very, very intelligent. We understand conceptually what should occur, every snap" (74%, 166 Votes)
- “We’ve got an experienced group of (coaches) ... Why wouldn’t I use that knowledge? My dad always told me if you’re the smartest guy in the room, you’re in the wrong room" (19%, 43 Votes)
- “Now it’s about how do we improve the developmental piece? How can we make this as player-friendly as we possibly can?” (7%, 14 Votes)

Buffs dominate No. 19 USC, 80-62, taking down the Trojans for the second time this season. Thoughts?
- A HUGE win. If the pundits were paying attention (we're looking at you, Jerry Palm at CBS), then CU will move up to being considered a "lock" for the tournament (41%, 113 Votes)
- Love to see the Buffs play to the level of their competition and dominate the best team in the conference. Just a shame that the Buffs also play to the level of the competition against lesser teams (31%, 87 Votes)
- All I know is that this team is 12-6 in Pac-12 play, CU's best record since joining the conference (one better than the 11-7 record of the 2011-12 team which won the conference title). Well done! (28%, 79 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??? 🙂
