Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Some thoughts from ESPN's end of year podcast
I love Ivan Maisel, but he picks Oregon to be in next year's playoff. Talk about lazy logic.
Rece Davis predicts USC will make next year's playoff. No comment necessary.
Great Rece Davis quote: "Oregon is the Buffalo Bills of college football."

The hype and looming 7/8 win season will be the end of Sark.
I like Maisel, he does his work and knows his shit, but Oregon pick is crazy.
This is what we have become
My early prediction is the PAC 12 champ having at least 2 losses and no playoff
The D-line might actually be better next year. Doubt we win 13 again but not sure who's going to beat the Ducks in the North or who will be better than Oregon in the South, for that matter.
Feels like 10-2 and another Rose Bowl.
I could see a 2 loss Pac team leap frogging a 1 loss ACC team, depending on OOC accomplishments of those two teams, but then you've got to worry about a 2 loss SEC team beating out the 2 loss Pac team, etc.
If you want to make the playoffs, win the Pac and only lose one game at most. Otherwise it would take a whole lot of help to get in.
I think the basement dwellers (Cal OSU and Colorado) all improve significantly while the top teams (ore LA schools, Az schools, Stanford) all stay flat or get a bit worse than last year. Recipe for parody. WSU will still be trampled on by all.
I could actually even see the Pac12 champ with 3 losses.
1) Would be amusing to watch the NCAA turn down a request for the conference championship game IF requested when the selection committee used the lack of title game as a basis for keeping them out.
2) With TCU most likely a sure fire Top 3 consensus team going into next year and Baylor not that far behind, would be hard to imagine that they will be kept out again next year - particularly if TCU does what they are capable of doing.
