It's time! Your prediction for No. 18 Colorado v. Colorado State (8:00 p.m., MT, ESPN)
- As Prime put it ... Before it was just going to be a good game, but now it's personal. Buffs cover the 24-point spread by halftime and coast to a huge win (44%, 117 Votes)
- I'm just interested to watch the 12-hour informercial ESPN will have for Coach Prime and the University of Colorado. For the first time in forever, CU is a heavy favorite - it'll be a weird day (32%, 85 Votes)
- As much as the Buff players have said they are not looking past CSU ... they could be forgiven for looking past CSU. A victory, but it could be uncomfortable for more time than we would expect (24%, 64 Votes)

CSU head coach Jay Norvell: "I told ESPN, when I talk to grownups, I take my hat and glasses off". Thoughts?
- Coach Prime: "It was just going to be a good game, but now it's personal". I hope this means that the Buffs will not hold back, and make this a rout for all to see and remember (52%, 160 Votes)
- This had to be orchestrated. Novell had spent the week saying all the right things about Prime, and then this? Perhaps he's trying to motivate his own team? We'll see ... (26%, 79 Votes)
- As Coach Prime said: "Why would you talk about us, when we all we do is come out here and work our butts off?". Thanks, Coach Norvell, for the bulletin board material! (22%, 67 Votes)

Mel Kiper has Shedeur Sanders as the third-best quarterback for the 2024 NFL Draft, and possibly the No. 1 overall pick for the 2025 Draft. Thoughts?
- I just like the mental picture of Shedeur coming back for his senior season in 2024. What do you say, Buff fans? Shedeur and Travis No. 1 and No. 2 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft? Mind-blowing thought (78%, 200 Votes)
- Shedeur has been groomed to be an NFL quarterback his entire life. Nice that NFL draftniks are finally noticing, but this news should hardly be considered a surprise (11%, 28 Votes)
- Shedeur has had a great start to his 2023 season, but it's still a small FBS sample. Just another example of the hype the media is putting on CU right now (11%, 28 Votes)

8.73 million viewers watched the Colorado victory over Nebraska. Which of the following to you is the most impressive factoid:
- That the thirst for all things CU and Coach Prime remains insatiable, with both Fox and ESPN setting up their pregame shows in Boulder ... for a Rocky Mountain rout in the making (47%, 121 Votes)
- That last season, CU's viewership averaged 352,000/game, meaning four times as many viewers have watched CU's last two games ... than watched all 12 games last season (27%, 71 Votes)
- That the Buffs v. Cornhuskers were just behind the matchup between two top ten teams, Alabama and Texas (8.76 million), and the CU game was a blowout! (26%, 68 Votes)

Colorado a 23.5-point favorite over CSU. Thoughts on the Buffs being such a heavy favorite?
- I'm just trying to remember the last time CU was favored by this many points against an FBS team (it has to be years). This is a strange new world we're living in (58%, 147 Votes)
- Take the Buffs minus-anything. CSU doesn't have any truly dangerous players on offense, and limited talent on defense. The Buffs' stat sheet gets healthy in a romp over the Lambs (24%, 61 Votes)
- Giving away that many points is a scary proposition. I know it's just scar tissue from the 2022 team, which averaged 15.4 points per game, but giving away that much to anyone seems like a stretch (18%, 45 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??? 🙂
