    The season is about to start getting a lot more interesting. A couple of the better teams in the conference have played but it won't get very interesting until two weeks. Here's how they look to me so far.

    12. Stanford - Bad. Terrible sign for UW Arizona only beat them by one point.

    My guess is Arizona would have won by more if they hadn't started de Laura.


    Their QB had one turnover and if they're able to run the ball a bit they have good enough receivers to do some damage. They are like most of the other 8-9 PAC 12 teams with that QB: good at home and shit on the road.

    They are head and shoulders better than FCS Stanford running the most fucktarded offense I've ever seen.
    I wonder what the score would be if Arizona played Stanford. Sounds like you think Arizona would win by 3+ scores pretty easily
    I wonder if Oregon fans use the transitive property when it allows them to make some shitty point.
    @WoolleyDoog was the one who made the point about AZ vs Stanford being a 1 point game and its implications for UW. I guess it's a Washington fan who made a shitty point, or you can't read. Which is it?

    AZ is a much better team at home and with Fifita at QB than on the road with JDL

    Texas Tech also sucks donkey dick

    I would play @Stanford over @Arizona 10/10 times. I just hope the desert didn’t take casualties for the game in two weeks. Tuli and Odunze have to healthy.

    We all know the transitive results get way overblown in college football. I don't completely throw them out though and I'm not in love with AZ only beating Stanford by 1. Outside of that, Stanford has looked like they're in the running for worst power conference team.

    Arizona looks like a 6-6 team to me and those can be hard outs on the road in the Pac-12 so a win is a win. Reminded me a lot of 2018 at UCLA where they got ahead and then just tried to grind out the game and the opponent was still firing on all cylinders. Ironically, that was also a game where UW just wanted to get a road W and move onto a big game with Oregon.

    The 2016 team also went to overtime with an Arizona team in Tucson that went 3-9. Transitive isn't everything.

    I haven't watched enough Oregon but I'd be curious to see what their fans think of the officiating this year. I remember hearing they like UW were getting flagged a ton, especially in comparison to their opponents. It also especially like UW is getting a ton of penalties bringing big plays back and on the other end extending drives for opponents and feels like opponents are only getting flagged if it's not a subjective penalty.

    It’s a shitty excuse and maybe it wasn’t a factor, but to me it looked a bit like the heat was getting to UW a bit in the second half.

    There isn't always continuity in how teams play week to week.

    People think the next week will replicate the previous week. It's just not like that.

    The biggest thing, however, is home field advantage.

    I'm still more scared of playing at USC than Oregon at home.
