Need To Get The BCR up

HFNY

It's not impossible but to win a NC without a ratio above 50% but we'd be a lot cooler if we had one:

Another interesting fact is about half the football programs on the list are bad at football.

Does the BCR even matter anymore given the impact of the portal?

Realistically for UW not sure it's a huge matter. In the CFP era, really only Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, LSU, and Ohio State feel like the teams that have the talent to win and even Clemson and LSU have had to have generational QBs to do it and Ohio State only got one in kind of an odd year (Mississippi State was #1 in the nation at one point). Sure, I want Washington to have the highest BCR possible, but I think any remote NC potential stems on having a TCU like season and getting into the final and winning a game with better QB play or scheme.

That's a good point considering a player may be a 3-star recruit but then essentially be a blue chip transfer.

That graphic makes a pretty compelling case for coaching/scheme/evaluation being the number one thing. But I'll defer to the slobbering TBS retards that look the other way when ND barely goes 1/1 against the bay schools at home. It's all about the Jimmy's and Goe's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When it goes to 12 teams, it's going to be even harder to scheme/eval/out coach 3 or 4 teams to win NC that have more talent.

Your talking teams that will be on game 15/16 and by then depth will definitely be a factor in it.
