Thoughts on "Project Rudy", with a 70-team super league which would eliminate games with other FBS and FCS schools
- I don't like it. Living in a world where App State can't get a shot at Michigan, and Northern Illinois is barred from playing Notre Dame. This will dilute, if not kill, the sport (43%, 79 Votes)
- Pluses and minuses. If the league is at 70, CU is surely in - but what if they then cut it to 48 or 36? Would CU make the second cut? On the other hand, being rid of CSU forever sounds good (35%, 64 Votes)
- I like it, provided Colorado is part of the 70-team list, which it almost certainly would. This is the future, may as well get there sooner rather than later, so Olympic sports can get back to normal (22%, 41 Votes)

Which of the following quotes from Coach Prime's weekly press conference do you like the best?
- "As quick as national media can jump on, they can jump off, so I don’t pay attention … I don’t want our players to believe that they have arrived – don’t believe the hype" (78%, 150 Votes)
- On redshirts leaving teams: "Are you redshirting for us, or are you redshirting for yourself? If they are redshirting for themselves, they should go. There should be an NCAA rule" (12%, 23 Votes)
- "Our team shouldn’t be surprised at (CU) being 4-1. How can you be surprised when you put on a new suit, and someone tells you that you look good?" (10%, 19 Votes)

Kickoff time for next Saturday's CU at Arizona game set (2:00 p.m., MT, Fox). Thoughts?
- Another national game (on Fox). Perhaps another Fox Big Noon game (if Arizona and CU both win this weekend). Win or lose, Coach Prime and the Buffs remain a huge national draw (65%, 143 Votes)
- I like it. I know that it will be hot in Tucson, but, as a fan not making trip, having a game which doesn't end at midnight is a bonus. Excited to see the Buffs on national TV midday! (24%, 52 Votes)
- I hate it. CU has a chance to be in every game this fall, so setting a game for mid-afternoon (current forecast for the 19th: 93-degrees at kickoff), is just stupid (11%, 24 Votes)

What grade would you give to the Colorado defense for the month of September?
- A B ... There have been some great moments, but some lapses as well. It's an improvement over last year, but there is still work to be done. Since the Nebraska game, this unit has played very well (65%, 182 Votes)
- A C ... The Buffs are 88th in total defense, and 64th in scoring defense. If you call that above average, then I can't help you. The 4-1 record is nice, but this is still an average defense (19%, 53 Votes)
- An A ... You do realize that the Buffs are 4-1, right? Much of that has to do with the improved play of the defense. There is quality and depth, and the Buffs just keep getting better (16%, 44 Votes)

What is your updated projected win total for CU in 2024?
- Seven wins. A guaranteed winning season for the Buffs in Year Two (regardless of the bowl game result), is all I want for Christmas in 2024 (45%, 80 Votes)
- Eight or more wins. The Buffs are at four wins, and have seven games left to play. It's not a stretch (especially after watching the UCF game) to expect a 4-3 (or better!) finish (37%, 66 Votes)
- Five to six wins. I don't want to jinx anything, but the goal at the beginning of the season was to get a bowl game for Peggy, and that remains the goal (18%, 33 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??? 🙂
