Help settle our CUATG podcast debate: In what tier of the Big 12 would you put CU's overhauled running back room?
  • Tier Two: 5-8 in the Big 12. A potential strength. A diversified unit with great potential; a unit which can help CU to a winning record and a bowl berth (47%, 72 Votes)
  • Tier Three: 9-12 in the Big 12. Likely a liability, with no proven back in the room. But, if the unit can avoid injury and live up to its potential, they can help CU get to a bowl game (36%, 55 Votes)
  • Tier Four: 13-16 in the Big 12. Once again, a problem area. CU lost all of its rushers from last season - not a good sign. This is a unit which might drag CU down to another losing season (9%, 13 Votes)
  • Tier One: With the influx of talent, CU's backs are one of the top four units in the Big 12, capable of taking the Buffs to title contention if the rest of the team is equally up to the task (8%, 12 Votes)

CBS Sports rates Coach Prime as the No. 15 head coach in the Big 12 (and No. 61 out of 68 in the Power Four). Thoughts?
  • I understand that this is what we have to talk about in early July. I'm ready to move past talk, and get to some action. Four weeks to the start of Fall Camp! (58%, 85 Votes)
  • I guess being 27-6 at Jackson State, and turning around a pitiful 1-11 CU team doesn't give you much in the way of Power Four credibility. He'll have to earn a better rating with a winning record (27%, 40 Votes)
  • It goes with the extra hype which came with the beginning of the season, and the 1-8 Pac-12 record to finish. If CU had started out 0-3, then gone 4-5 in conference play, the rating would be higher (15%, 21 Votes)

Which of the following recent news items did you find the most interesting?
  • That the Big 12 media put CU at No. 11 in its preseason poll. Pretty consistent with the preseason magazines, but still a surprise. Buffs are going to raise some eyebrows this fall (53%, 69 Votes)
  • That the 5430 Alliance will host an EA Sports launch party (complete with Buff players participating). Should be a big draw (and hopefully be a big 5430 donation day) (26%, 34 Votes)
  • That CU is going to have a "Stripe Out" for the season opener. Will Buff fans be able to figure out what color to wear in their section? I hope so, as this game will have a large TV audience on ESPN (21%, 28 Votes)

  1. 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!!

  2. Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.

  3. 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??? 🙂
