Now that we're at the turn, predict UW's final (regular season) record
Like @puppylove_sugarsteel I like to let the season marinate for a bit before I make my predictions.

I'm having a hard time seeing better than 7-5 still.
My purple colored glasses say we can win 3 of 4 against Iowa, IU, USC and UCLA.
Penn St and Oregon are bridges too far, although I could see a greased up Dawg having a puncher's chance against the Ducks.
Exactly how I see it, can't have any more injuries at DT.
2022 on repeat.
I'm still worried that 6-6 and 5-7 is still in play.
5-4 1st season in the B1G considering the 2024 trauma to the program, wouldn't be the worst start for Fisch. Would basically be our 3rd best new coach start post James, behind 1999 Rick and 2022 DeBoer.
Going to beat Oregon twice to win the B1G
That campaign took the greatest messiah QB in the history of our program.
Its tough because I predicted 9-3 originally and they actually might look a little better than I expected but they dropped two clunkers already. I don't think they lose at home seeing as the Cali schools look like their usual selves.
If Washington can win at Iowa, it can win at Penn State.
They let UCLA hang around all game
If they beat Iowa they’ll finish 8-4 or 9-3.
Lose to Iowa and they’ll finish 6-6.
Until they prove it I assume they won’t win on the road.
We're doing quite well in the various stats are for losers metrics guyms rankings, which would indicate we have a chance to be competitive and not get blown out Sark 2.0 style in any of the remaining games.
The tail of the season, however, is 109th nationally in penalty yards per game.

No such thing as an easy game left
Every week a battle every game a war. It just means more
The B1G has at least caught the SEC. Oregon and Ohio State for sure would be favored against every SEC team. Penn State, Michigan and even our poor little DAWGS would win their share
Georgia lost to the team that lost to Vandy
1-2 against Indiana, Penn State, Oregon. All on road, all good teams.
2-1 against Iowa, USC, UCLA.
We could do 3-0 across those games but we found a way to lose to Rutgers and Cuog.
9-3 should get us in playoff conversation quite honestly. A 3 loss team is getting in.
We dominated the 2 games we lost. Bad coaching which I think Jedd has figured out.
No team really scares me. I predict a close loss at Penn State and a win against everyone else, closing out with 4th in a row in Eugene.
Just miss the playoffs. They give Alamo to 11-1 Wazzu and we go to Holiday against SMU.
I'm super pessimistic so I'm still keeping my foot on the breaks for now. Beating this Michigan team by double digits with our kicker making two field goals you expect him to make and them not having anything like that gives me a lot of hope though. We shouldn't wet our pants about the remaining schedule we have the way some have but it's not easy.
Iowa - at home and not the week after Michigan I'd comfortably say double digit Doog win. Don't like the variables going into this game though.
Indiana - could be a great chance to get a fake big win with Indiana. They look tough and can actually pass. Them coming off Nebraska and UW off a bye could be clutch though.
USC - Like Indiana, they will be interesting as they can throw the ball and UW hasn't played anyone who can yet. Their run defense still looks soft though so this could be the game where Coleman goes off.
Penn State - I don't think they're world beaters. Feel like they're better than Michigan this year though and this is a game I can't pick them to win.
UCLA - Regardless of grease history absolutely no excuse to not unload on them here.
Oregon - Similar to Penn State. I think Fisch and co will have nothing to lose here though and a lot of time to plan with UCLA then a bye week. I think we'll know a lot more about Oregon after Saturday.
I have no fear of UCLA grease at home anymore. Rose Bowl is different.
In the other pole I had UW at 8-5 - thinking 7-5 and a bowel movement win. Now 8-4 with a bowel loss
Still 8-5 which sucks - never should have lost to the Cuogs and Buttgers
Pissed away two games that a good team wins rather easily. No reason not to expect similar performance against the remaining schedules which is better than the one they've played so far. 6 wins = house money though.
I like the variables going into Iowa. Sieze the momentum. No short week cross country travel here. Play greased up and recover during the bye week. Come out on fire and bury (they can't overcome 10-14 pts) them before they can say "our D is special". They have to second guess their D after getting 85 hymens broken by tOSU after biting the pillow and saying thank you sir can I have another.
Yeah, our front 9 was a sloppy as a brother of @chuck driver. Any chance we had of going something like 9-3 was dependent on a 6-0 start.
Our back 9 is way harder and than the front.
