Bama. Lots of BamaIf UW can keep the 4 man pressure and keep Hurts in the pocket he kind of sucks passing. Bama does not have the thumper back. What they do is use Hurts as a runner to make up for both shortcomings.Their defense is really good. Reminds me of Washington. Bama has overcome a lot of their spread shortcomings over the years. They get pressure from 4 and play great coverage and score a lot on defense. And special teams.Washington is an easy 14-17 point dog in this one, but if they don't turn the ball over and keep Hurts contained in the pocket they can stay in the game and anything can happen.Clemson is good and bored with another long season before they get a shot at redemption. They would not be as easy to beat in the playoffs as they appear right now. But very beatable all the same by our defense. The fact that UW doesn't have to gamble or bring 7 to get pressure puts them among the elite in the nation.Same story going against Ohio State. Barrett can throw but not on his back. He beat Wisconsin with his legs.. Ohio State has a Bama level defense. Tough to score on either of them. You can't make mistakes and you have to get 7 when you are down there in scoring land.Fuck Michigan and their running up the score on shitty teams from New Jersey. Win something that counts Harbaugh. Not even scouting them since Ohio State will pound their ass.You may think UW doesn't belong in the discussion but they do. This is a GOOD Washington team
I hate love to doog, but Qualls, Vea, and Emtman Jr. are all going to play on Sundays. What they do up front is a nightmare for anyone in the nation.Also, what makes Browning special is his ability to read the defense pre snape and audible. The efficiency rankings aren't an accident. He's a poor man's Peyton and that's what you need to beat these teams.If Browning is the QB at Wisconsin they win last saturday, nuff said on that.
The only weakness on this UW team is an untested OL against an elite DL. I wouldn't trade our front for any in the nation.Maybe a big elite OL that pulls in coordination can fuck our undersized edge, besides that we're pretty much SEC all around.King, Baker, Victor, Jones, Gaines, Vea, Qualls, are guaranteed nfl. We can stop people. Time to doog.
I'll definitely be rooting for Michigan to make the playoff, because matchup wise it looks a lot like the Stanford game... power run game with an average QB. The one difference is that Michigan is really really good on special teams. Colorado had all the momentum in that game until Michigan fucked them on special teams towards the end of the first half. UW's punt protection has been really shaky in the few instances we've actually punted.

@puppylove_sugarsteel, there is no room for you on the bandwagon.

Race is dooging now? I don't even recognize this place anymore. It's fun being good
