    Disagree - need to get to CFP and ideally win a game. It’s easier to make the argument that he’s the difference in winning it all when you are already in the dance vs outside looking in

    Except the chances of UW winning a Playoff game with Brownsocks at QB is so fucking slim right now. I'll wait until the Auburn game to fully decide but right now I think not making the playoffs and winning the Rose Bowl would be better for the program and recruiting.
    Oh god not that tired argument again. It's never better winning a consolation game. It's the playoffs or bust. The whole goal of competing is to win the top prize. Otherwise there's no point.

    Our hat on the table will be so good that it might even be his fake choice.

    It's called incremental progress. UW is very unlikely to win a Playoff game this season. Bringing home a Rose Bowl trophy is better than taking an L in the Playoffs. It just is. Petersen's only bowl win at UW is against Southern Miss.

    I'm too poor to read the article, but I assume Wiltfong is saying it's Us (?) vs Bama. I assume the result will be browningpicksix.gif
    He said his best relationships are with UW staff. Then proceeds to give a shout out to literally every coach recruiting him. Then proceeds to gush about Alabama and how they win a national title every other year and put 50% of their 5 star recruits into the league while other schools average 17% first rounders that were 5-star recruits which is misleading because Bama gets a disproportionate amount of the 5-star recruits but whatever. He said winning means a lot to him which makes Bama, Georgia, and Clemson very attractive. Said a Pac-12 school hasn't won the national title in a long time. Said he is definitely watching the performance of teams he's considering this season and that will factor into his decision. UW vs. Bama battle right now. UW likely needs to beat Auburn, beat SC for the Pac-12 title, and maybe win the non-playoff Rose Bowl to have a chance at beating Bama for Smalls. Going back to the playoffs only to get slaughtered by Bama would not be good for UW's chances with Smalls.
    Petersen has 100% success rate with five star players he has coached.

    It's not as though it's a given that we win the rose bowl.

    You take the shot at the playoffs when you get it.
    Certainly a better chance at winning the Rose Bowl in a more fair match up talent wise than playing Bama, Georgia, Clemson, or Ohio State in the playoff and almost certainly getting spanked again on national TV.
