Washington
2016 breakout: The Huskies began last season ranked 14th in the AP poll despite coming off a 7-6 season and having not been ranked better than 15th in any AP top 25 since 2002. There was faith in Chris Petersen, in his third season with a more experienced roster, and the Huskies lived up to the hype and more. They won the Pac-12 for the first time since 2000, going 12-2 with a playoff bid. They broke the Stanford/Oregon stranglehold on the conference by crushing both teams, with an outstanding season and a superb sophomore effort from QB Jake Browning before losing to Alabama in the Peach Bowl.
Why they'll be better: Browning actually injured his shoulder in November and played through pain late in the season. He underwent surgery in January and should hopefully be back to the player we saw much of the 2016 season. The offense returns plenty of experience, including RB Myles Gaskin, OT Trey Adams and WR Dante Pettis, and there's a lot to like about the defensive front, especially with LB Azeem Victor returning from a season-ending injury.
Why they'll be worse: Browning loses his best offensive weapon in speedster John Ross, whose departure also deprives the Huskies of a standout kick returner. The losses may be felt more on defense, where the secondary loses stars Budda Baker, Sidney Jones and Kevin King, with all-conference DT Elijah Qualls also gone.
2017 stock: Slightly down. Washington likely won't be the Pac-12 favorite, but it will be the Pac-12 North favorite. With Browning back, the offense will be excellent, and there is time to rebuild the defensive backfield thanks to a helpful schedule. Washington doesn't have to play Darnold and USC in the regular season; it has a laughable nonconference schedule featuring Rutgers, Montana and Fresno State; and it doesn't face Josh Rosen until Oct. 28 and Luke Falk until Nov. 25. Stock is "slightly down" only because repeating as a playoff team will be difficult, but the Huskies should be in a similar ballpark.

2016 kuzuka: Huskies alianza msimu uliopita nafasi ya 14 katika uchaguzi AP licha kuja mbali msimu 7-6 na baada ya si nafasi bora zaidi kuliko 15 katika yoyote AP 25 maarufu tangu 2002. Kulikuwa na imani katika Chris Petersen, katika msimu wake wa tatu na orodha ya majina uzoefu zaidi, na Huskies aliishi hadi Hype na zaidi. Walishinda Pac-12 kwa mara ya kwanza tangu 2000, kwenda 12-2 na mchujo jitihada. Kwa sababu ya kuvunja Stanford / Oregon kuhodhi juu ya mkutano na kusagwa timu zote mbili, baada ya msimu wake bora na superb sophomore juhudi kutoka QB Jake Browning kabla ya kupoteza kwa Alabama katika Peach Bowl.
Nini utakuwa bora zaidi: Browning kweli kujeruhiwa bega lake katika Novemba na kucheza kwa njia ya maumivu marehemu katika msimu. Alifanyiwa upasuaji Januari na itarajiwe nyuma mchezaji tuliona sehemu kubwa ya msimu 2016. kosa anarudi mengi ya uzoefu, ikiwa ni pamoja na RB Myles Gaskin, OT Trey Adams na WR Dante Pettis, na kuna mengi ya kama juu ya mbele ya kujihami, hasa kwa LB Azeem Victor kurudi kutoka kuumia msimu usio na kikomo.
Nini utakuwa mbaya zaidi: Browning hupoteza kukera zake bora silaha katika speedster John Ross, ambaye kuondoka pia deprives Huskies ya standout kick returner. hasara inaweza kuwa waliona zaidi juu ya ulinzi, ambapo sekondari kupoteza nyota Budda Baker, Sidney Jones na Kevin King, na kila Mkutano wa DT Elijah Qualls pia gone.
2017 internet: kidogo chini. Washington uwezekano kuwa Pac-12 favorite, lakini itakuwa Pac-12 North favorite. Kwa Browning nyuma, kosa itakuwa bora, na kuna wakati wa kujenga kujihami backfield shukrani kwa ratiba ya kukusaidia. Washington haina kucheza Darnold na USC katika msimu wa mara kwa mara; ina laughable nonconference ratiba akishirikiana Rutgers, Montana na Fresno State; na haina uso Josh Rosen mpaka Oktoba 28 na Luka Falk mpaka Novemba 25. Stock ni "kidogo chini" kwa sababu tu ya kurudia kama timu ya mchujo itakuwa vigumu, lakini Huskies inapaswa kuwa katika ballpark sawa.

That article was fucking stupid.
Hope this helps.
UW will be an 8 or 9 win team this year, but I expect them to be right back in with the big boys in 2018.
Last year was an awful Pac-12, nothing more.
Simple fact.
Case closed.
End of discussion.
