Scenario: UW goes undefeated and wins the National Championship this year.

Do the SEC haters denounce this and say that we didn't earn it, because we didn't play anyone OOC?

I need answers guys.

    UW is playing 10 BCS teams in the regular season this year.

    No one in the SEC is playing 10 BCS teams in the regular season except Georgia. The thirteen other teams are playing only 8-9.

    The shittiest OOC in the history of UW is still better than all but one SEC team.

    Woodward is following the SEC model. It has served them well, right or wrong (hint: it's the pussy way and wrong) because noone seems to pay attention. People paid attention when Kansas State and Nebraska did it, but the SEC gets special media protection.

    A few years ago we played BYU, Nebraska, Notre Dumb, Ohio State and the like. The SEC was still playing in-state rival 50 miles away every other yr. (GA Tech, FSU, Clumpson) . Maybe. That was their big road test. Plus Sun Belt and D 1aa fodder. Tennessee is basically the only team that consistently leaves the south.

    I won't denounce shit because UW won't have more than a 50/50 shot at sniffing the national championship (semi) f they're 13-1. If they were in the SEC with the exact same strength of schedule, they'd have a semi spot sewn up. It would literally take 3-4 undefeated teams to knock them out.

    I mostly agree but Florida plays FSU every year but their HC is Steve Kardasian good.

    If we somehow go 12-1 beating 3 of the 4 (asu,ucla,Stanford,whoregon) and end up in the PAC title game I hope some how Seven upsets ucla for the South title (I understand will never happen) and we have SC in the title game or anyone and we win we will be a lock to be in the F4 since we are talking about hypotheticals. Cook it pj banana boat
