Is the 3-3-2-2-1 model for a 14-team playoff a good deal for the Big 12 and Colorado?
- No. Any model which permanently establishes that the Big Ten and SEC are superior to the other two Power Four conferences establishes a bias, both real and imagined, against parity (62%, 94 Votes)
- I'm still trying to figure out why the powers that be didn't even try the 12-team playoff model before expanding. Okay, so it's all about the money, but this is all moving too quickly (23%, 34 Votes)
- Yes. The Big 12 would have two guaranteed spots in the College Football Playoff, with a shot at the three open spots. In prior years, the Big 12 would have only gotten one team in, so this is good (15%, 23 Votes)

Which of the following statements from the CBS Sports article about Coach Prime and the Buffs to you rings the most true?
- "Without letting the hype train get too far off the rails, the 2024 schedule does set up well for Colorado to make it back to the postseason for the first time since 2020." (63%, 130 Votes)
- "Though Colorado's defense drew a lot of deserved flak last season, the Buffaloes actually looked a lot better than they did in the year before Sanders' arrival" (33%, 68 Votes)
- "Coach Prime doesn't necessarily need to make a bowl to show signs of progress, especially as the program embarks on a new journey in the Big 12" (4%, 8 Votes)

Which of the following concerns you the most about CU's 2024 offensive line prospects?
- Cohesiveness. If there is one room where all of the players have to be on the same page, it's the offensive line. Constantly churning the roster is not a proven path to success (50%, 111 Votes)
- Talent. Buff fans were sold on the idea of bringing in starters from other teams last year, with disastrous consequences. Slightly better resumes to the new transfers, but CU is still starting over (27%, 61 Votes)
- Coaching. New offensive line coach Phil Loadholt has nine years of NFL experience, but zero years of experience as an offensive line coach. With so much at stake, was this the right choice? (23%, 50 Votes)

Wide receiver Tar'Varish Dawson and defensive lineman Bishop Thomas first two casualties of the spring. Thoughts?
- Not really losses. Thomas was apparently either unmotivated or undisciplined, and Dawson was deep on the depth chart in a very talented wide receiver room. Sorry to lose anyone, but not crucial losses (51%, 124 Votes)
- It all depends on how CU uses the two scholarships come April. If the Buffs find a good replacement defensive lineman and a quality linebacker, it's all good. If not ... a net loss (44%, 106 Votes)
- Significant losses. CU's deficiencies along the defensive line are well known, and Dawson had a breakout game against Nebraska. Both will be missed (5%, 12 Votes)

After incident at the end of the Duke/Wake Forest game, there's talk about banning rushing courts and fields. Thoughts?
- There should be a compromise. How about a countdown. Schools could have announcers do a countdown from 25 or 50, giving time for teams to get out, while still giving fans the rush of rushing the court (45%, 84 Votes)
- Another "get off my lawn" moment. Anyone regret rushing the field at Folsom after a Nebraska win, or the CEC after beating Kansas? It's a right of passage for college students and fans (33%, 61 Votes)
- Long overdue. It's time to just ban the practice, and give stiff fines to schools who don't enforce the rule. Hire actual security. Don't just hand out a few security vests (22%, 41 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??? 🙂
