CU opens as a 20.5-point underdog on the road against Utah (Saturday, 1:00 p.m., MT, Pac-12 Networks). Thoughts?
- The Buffs are limping to the finish line with five straight losses. One early score by Utah and they will quit. Take the Utes minus-anything. This is going to be another rout (66%, 139 Votes)
- Unless Vegas has information that Shedeur isn't going to play (which hasn't been the narrative), this seems like a line which is too high. Two touchdowns? Sure. Three touchdowns? Not seeing it (25%, 53 Votes)
- A pretty huge over-reaction to CU's loss to Washington State. Did Vegas see that Utah fell behind Arizona by four touchdowns a quarter faster than CU did? (9%, 20 Votes)

Which of the following fellow first-year head coaches would you trade Coach Prime for?
- None of the above. Coach Prime has a learning curve as a Power Five coach, but this is just his first season. He won conference titles at Jackson State - but in Years Two and Three, not Year One (93%, 244 Votes)
- Purdue's Ryan Walters. A former Buff, he has proven he can put together a top Power Five defense. When was the last time CU had that? (3%, 7 Votes)
- Nebraska's Matt Rhule. He has resurrected two college football programs before, and he will do it at Nebraska, without the fanfare (2%, 5 Votes)
- Arizona State's Kenny Dillingham. His team has been improving over the course of the year ... not something you could say about the Buffs (2%, 4 Votes)
- Stanford's Troy Taylor. He has proven he can do more with less, and he orchestrated the come-from-behind win over CU which ruined the Buffs' season (0%, 2 Votes)

Washington State 56, Colorado 14. Thoughts?
- Coach Prime said that CU was progressing, and had only been blown out by a Top 5 Oregon team ... Where's the "progress" now, Coach? CU is back to being a national embarrassment and a punchline (35%, 71 Votes)
- Well, we wondered all season what the Buffs would look like without Shedeur Sanders ... I guess we don't have to wonder about that any longer. Can we just forfeit the Utah game? (35%, 71 Votes)
- I guess it's time to start focusing in on CU basketball. At least both the basketball teams are ranked ... It's going to be hard to talk about football this off-season (again) (30%, 63 Votes)

It's time! Your prediction for Colorado at Washington State (Friday, 8:30 p.m., MT, FS1)
- I'm excited about this game! The Buffs can get on the road and focus on getting win No. 5. Buffs are 3-1 v. unranked opponents this fall ... make that 4-1 after Friday night! (68%, 163 Votes)
- As Coach Prime keeps noting, this team needs to learn how to win. Hard to do that on the road on a short week. I'm predicting another close ... and another frustrating ... loss (21%, 51 Votes)
- I hate to be the one to say it, but I think CU's last best chance at a win went through the uprights at the final gun last Saturday. Buffs won't have much left in the tank ... I see a big WSU win (11%, 26 Votes)

Which of the following Coach Prime quotes do you like the best?
- "I think my whole family has an anchor here right now. My momma, the dog, my daughter, everyone, and we absolutely love being here. We actually love it, 100 percent" (61%, 141 Votes)
- "All these other schools are telling these young men and their families I am not going to be here. They think that we're going to be so successful that I am going to leave" (20%, 46 Votes)
- "I don't talk about any other coaches or teams or staffs. I don't believe in that. I am not going to put you down so I can stand up. I've never been that type of player or person in my life" (19%, 44 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??? 🙂
