"Legacy" Pac-12 teams to retain Pac-12 Bowl alliances (Alamo, Holiday, etc.) for the next two seasons. Thoughts?
- I'm just hoping that CU gets to six wins (hopefully well before Thanksgiving weekend), so that where the Buffs land for their bowl game is subject of debate (and not wishful thinking) (80%, 110 Votes)
- Not sure how well they thought this through. The second place Pac-12 teams plays in the Alamo Bowl against a Big 12 team. So there could be a CU/Kansas State rematch in San Antonio? Not a fan (14%, 19 Votes)
- I like it. The conferences are in flux, and this frees up more bowl opportunities for CU this December or January. Just another reason to get excited about this fall (6%, 8 Votes)

Which of the following recent stories to you was the most exciting?
- CU moving up from 77th to 36th in the ESPN Football Power Index, the second-highest leap by any team in the nation. Nice to see ESPN's stats catching up to CU's roster improvements (65%, 119 Votes)
- Chris Hudson being named to the College Football Hall of Fame ballot. A first-team All-American and a Thorpe Award winner. It's a no-brainer voters - let him in! (28%, 51 Votes)
- Travis Hunter being named to the Lott IMPACT Trophy Watch List. A defensive player trophy, the only one which considers character ... may as well just give it to Hunter now! (7%, 13 Votes)

Which anonymous quote about CU by a Big 12 coach to you rings the most true?
- "They cannot have a winning season without a functional run game and a legit offensive line. That’s the one position group you can’t really portal in one cycle" (66%, 126 Votes)
- “The known quantity is at quarterback, and when you look at the kid [Shedeur Sanders] away from the hype and his dad, he can make legit throws and has innate talent and great instincts" (25%, 47 Votes)
- “Expect improvement at skill positions across the board — they’re aggressively portaling — but they need to put some studs opposite of [Travis] Hunter" (9%, 18 Votes)

What do you make of Camden Dempsey, "The Governor", giving CU fans the state of the team address?
- I'm constantly amazed at the promotion machine that is Colorado football under Coach Prime. Not sure I will get too much from the updates, but they'll probably be short and fun (52%, 61 Votes)
- I like it. It's an informative insight into the goings on with the team, and Dempsey doesn't take himself too seriously. I'm looking forward to future "addresses" (36%, 42 Votes)
- Not a fan. Just another way for players to get "clicks". I'm all for a long snapper getting his 15 minutes of fame, but I'm moving on from this form of entertainment (12%, 14 Votes)

Are you following stories on Coach Prime (accused of tampering a Division II player) and Shilo Sanders (bankruptcy after multi-million judgement entered)?
- Not really, but I do find it interesting/frustrating/maddening that national publications are all too happy to run with negative stories about Coach Prime and CU. (52%, 87 Votes)
- No. As noted, the Coach Prime story has little validity, and the bankruptcy story has little to do with anything which will take place on the field this fall (33%, 55 Votes)
- Yes. The negative press is hard to ignore. I don't think the Coach Prime story has legs (likely phishing), but the bankruptcy story is going to last into the fall (15%, 25 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??? 🙂
