13-0, 5 wins over top 25 and had to beat a top 5 rival twice.Dahobbs said:
I never said that. I'm sure Washington did, but by nature of being a better team last season, it didn't have as far to improve as Texas did. Also, statistically, it is easier to find the improvement in Texas. By many metrics y'all look the same or even slightly worse. I'd have to be more familiar with your team and probably have to examine the advanced metrics more closely to know where the improvement occurred. I figure y'all are in a better position to do that than me.doogville said:Love the premise that Texas got better over the past year and UW I guess stood still.
Other than that stats are for losers.
Big 12 took in a bunch of G5's this year like Houston and BYU and was the worst power 5 conference. -
Eh, by Massey it was 2nd, behind the SEC and just in front of the PAC 12.haie said:

In Sagarin it is third, just behind the PAC 12.

UW has given up more sacks this year. 7 to 11. Minimal increase.

Without a deep dive into metrics, this year's team has looked like complete shit for various reasons for long stretches (particularly the back half). The theme of the season has been playing poorly with pieced together lineups and finding a way to win anyway.Dahobbs said:

Penix really looked off down the stretch and there have been more than a fair share of "fire Grubb" calls as the offense has significantly played under its potential.
However, they've put it together when it matters most and look to finally be getting healthy. The month off is going to do wonders for this team. Texas has 5 stars 2 deep and Washington does not, there have been some significant lumps taken by our backups (particularly in the secondary and interior DL).
At WR Mcmillan is finally back and that changes everything, he was arguably more important to the team than Rome going into the season and his absence skews a lot of the data the metrics rely on.
I expect another close game. I was at the Alamo last year and Penix played like shit while Ewers had his best passing game until the B12 championship last week, and Washington found a way to win.
I think we absorb another 300+ passing from Ewers, but if Sark sticks to the run we might be in trouble. -

TCU went 5-7, a bunch of G5's got plugged in, and teams like Kansas and Iowa State were contenders. Oklahoma was limp dick again.
That's a shit conference any way you slice it. -
TCU being bad means it was a bad conference? Ok. The Big 12 has 9 bowl eligible teams. PAC 12 has 8. Granted, the Big 12 has two additional teams this year. It was a decent conference this year.haie said:

Oh, and Kansas is a very solid team. Not upper echelon of course, but that offense can score. -
guys let try to make the shit talking entertaining vs. fucking reading walls of text

Sorry. But don't fret, I assumed most y'all couldn't read anyway.FireCohen said:guys let try to make the shit talking entertaining vs. fucking reading walls of text

I like to say a 57% increase is minimal. TWILTD.jecornel said:UW has given up more sacks this year. 7 to 11. Minimal increase.
