What do you make of the report that 87% of the bets at MGM have been on CU to cover the over for 3.5 wins?
- Makes perfect sense. While national pundits are loath to give credit to Coach Prime and his coaches, bettors see CU as a brand new team with great potential (44%, 104 Votes)
- Interesting that CU is leading in bets on winning the Pac-12 (even at 100:1 odds). I think what it really shows is that no one - not Vegas, not the experts - know what to make of CU under Coach Prime (42%, 100 Votes)
- I still wouldn't touch this bet. Vegas knows what it's doing, and how to get money to come in. It tells me that the sharps don't see CU as a team which is going bowling in 2023 (14%, 33 Votes)

Which of the following Game Week press conference quotes by Coach Prime do you like the best?
- Asked about coaching his first game on the Power 5 stage, "It's not about me. I played in the Super Bowl and the World Series. I’m good. I’m good. I’m straight. This is about the kids, man" (39%, 92 Votes)
- "These kids are ready. Practice-wise, these guys have been getting after it and I'm proud of them. They've been working their butts off and they've kind of challenged one another" (36%, 85 Votes)
- After asking players to write down their game goals: "OK, now go out there and practice and do it. Don't wait until Saturday to do it. Do it now. So I'm happy with our young men. I really am" (25%, 56 Votes)

Which roster note about No. 17 TCU to you will have the greatest impact on this weekend's game?
- That TCU had eight players drafted into the NFL last fall (with three others getting free agent contracts). TCU is not a true blue blood, so that many quality players can't be immediately replaced (41%, 113 Votes)
- That quarterback Chandler Morris actually beat out Heisman runner-up Max Duggan for the starting job last year (starting against CU). CU shouldn't dismiss Morris as an unqualified backup (33%, 92 Votes)
- That despite the 12-0 regular season record, TCU had a porous defense. The Horned Frogs gave up four or more touchdowns in nine games last fall (but still managed to win seven of those game) (26%, 70 Votes)

Rate your interest in the news that Arizona State has self-imposed a bowl ban for the 2023 season.
- Low. Sorry, but it's - finally - game week. All news which doesn't involve my Buffs or the dreaded Horned Frogs is not on my radar. I'll care about ASU when we get to ASU week (73%, 186 Votes)
- Medium. With the 20+ seniors on the ASU team "devastated" by the news, I'm seeing an added advantage when CU plays the Sun Devils in early October (22%, 57 Votes)
- High. Considering that the NCAA has yet to even give ASU a Notice of Allegations, ASU is really seeing the writing on the wall here. Here's hoping for severe penalties down the road (5%, 13 Votes)

Which recent roster move will have greatest impact on the Buffs this season?
- That linebacker Juwan Mitchell has joined the Buffs. Mitchell had 43 tackles for Tennessee last season, and led Texas in tackles in 2020. A great late addition (if he can stay out of trouble) (48%, 126 Votes)
- That offensive lineman Tyler Brown was denied eligibility. A third-team All-American at Jackson State, Brown really could have helped the offensive line this fall. A disappointing loss to the roster (44%, 116 Votes)
- That running back Sy’veon Wilkerson has been declared eligible. Wilkerson was a first-team All-SWAC performer, rushing for 1,152 yards for Jackson State last year. He'll be a factor this fall (8%, 21 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??? 🙂
