We get 💯 of the ticket sales next year.

I get that they haven't done much but the argument against them not being #1 is basically just as empty as the argument for them. Especially with early season schedules now we know little about any of the teams. We are four weeks in and the only team I would say who has shown anything high level is Georgia winning at Tennessee. You can also point to Oklahoma, Florida State, what they've done a bit. Other than that, you're breaking down who was more or less impressive against vastly inferior opponents for the most part and that's a terrible ruler.

LSU is currently #4 based on beating Clemson (who is bad) by 7 points.

I think UW has a really good chance to win the game straight up

The top 2 RBs for Ohio St have not shown any kind of game breaking ability to date … it would seem like their 3rd string true-freshman (Bo Jackson) has the game breaking ability but not sure that he's getting enough non-garbage time snaps to be super threatening.

Through 3 games the UW defense is giving up 2.4 yards per carry so while the DL may not have any true elite difference makers there is a strength in numbers approach that allows the DL to maximize their effort on each play.

The key defensively is to win on early downs in the run game and now allow Ohio St to take pressure off of the young QB. While there is risk in asking the QB to beat you given the elite WR talent that they have, the path to beating Ohio St is forcing Sayin to make plays in the passing game (for UW in favorable down/distance situations). It's also obviously easier said than done but Ohio St is heavily dependent on their 2 WRs as they account for over 50% of their total completions and nobody else on the roster has more than 4 catches in 3 games.

The offense will score some points … too much talent at different levels to not put the Ohio St defense in some difficult situations. I suspect that the Ohio St game plan is going to be bringing pressure, forcing Demond to stay inside the pocket, and trying to take away his run game. The challenge with this is Demond's accuracy and being able to take advantage of what should be a lot of single coverage. I suspect that this becomes a very big game for the TEs … notably DeGraaf.

This Ohio St team is a very good team. I don't think they are the #1 team in the country good. I don't think by Ohio St standards that this is an elite team of theirs.

The Huskies went over to Pullman to play in front of 32000 people, a sellout btw, and split the revenue with the Coog. Yay. So now next year they come home and play in front of 70000 and have to split it again. But at least they have to go back there in 2027 and do it all over again. JC Dannen was a fucktard for doing this. Keep the damn trophy and don’t return it. Tell them to fuck off and get off our lawn. You already kicked them out of your house, tell them to LEAVE already

My argument has always been to rotate WSU, OSU, and Cal.

Which illustrates the real problem: WSU truly needs this game when it comes to Pullman.
