Already thinking about the Playoffs

When my Ducks were on the up and up, there was always the question, can the gimmick offense they run outclass the old school tough football played by teams such as Alabama, tOSU, Stanford, Fresno State etc...
There was some mystery in that. A lot of what ifs. I'm wondering as Dawg fans what your feelings are about playing real football and still having to face other real football teams in the playoffs?
With the Pacific conference at an all time low, I see UW finishing 12-0 and being in the playoffs again, but there's no mystery. The blue bloods are just going to win out over you based on the hot recruiting grounds the reside in which I've never thought was fair.
Do you wish that maybe you tried something different so you at least have a chance?
Would like to hear what you guys think. Glad to see you didn't have any injuries tonight, Seems like you guys are really fortunate in that area and you never have major injuries.

Another 3 years of consistent winning and stronger recruiting and maybe we'll be at that point. Maybe we'll never get there. For now the goal is to win the cconference imo and maybe if we can draw a winnable game like Oklahoma or Penn state beat them. We're just not beating Clemson or Bama right now. No one is
Anything can happen.
That being said, just getting to the CFP with Petersen again in back to back seasons would help with exposure for the program as long as coaching stays somewhat consistent. For someone like UW you can't just go out and get 5 star players but you can start keeping people in state or in the region that would have otherwise left if they know they are going to a program that continues to win, put players in the NFL and has a coach that isn't going to leave.
But I am not thinking about what will happen if UW goes. I know that anyone left on UW's schedule can win right now, even those buttfucks at Cal. Already thinking about 12(13)-0 is setting myself up for huge disappointment. This team has some fucking problems. Offensive coordinator, the QB, WRs that can't get open, players who can't get off blocks, a kicker who couldn't hit the broadside of a barn, TE depth an injury away from shitdom, STDs, weed and fires.
Isn't the Pacific conference an Oregon high school division?
Mariota- Heisman, NFL starter
Freeman- Active yardage leader in everything and a 5-star recruit.
Tyner- 5-star recruit and an NFL caliber back before his shoulders died.
Carrington- Stud WR
Allen- Olympic athlete
Lowe- Insane edge blocker, solid hands
Brown- All Conference TE
Fisher- NFL starter
Grassu- NFL starter
Johnstone- All-American
Armstead- NFL starter
Buckner- NFL starter
Ifo- 1st round lock until knee injury
Hill- All Conference player
The defense lead the nation in take aways. They lost to tOSU because Allen tore his ACL and Carrington smoked weed and talked shit. The Buckeyes played Cover 3 all night and put 8 guys in the box because we had no one left that could stretch the field.
You need to be loaded on both sides of the ball, which UW isn't, and you have to stay healthy across the board now to have a shot. That's why Oklahoma got punked because their defense hasn't been legit since 1999 and tOSU got smashed last year with that garbage offense. The voters can't bail out these giant names anymore, which is nice.
And no PAC 12 team will have a chance against either as long as Saban/Dabo are rolling. They are playing a different sport than the rest of the country, especially with oversigning and lax (or no) discipline. Oregon's best WR gets a DUI? Kicked off team. Alabama's best DL got a DUI the same week and received no suspension at all. The Southern teams/conferences actually care about football. The Pac 12 really doesn't.
Case closed.
End of discussion.
You?
I don’t remember the Pacific Conference being this poor. (I call it that because if I say “Pac-12” it only covers a few years)
It looks like there’s one good team that can play with most teams save the top 8 or so as long as they (Washington) don’t have any major injuries. Seems like nobody ever gets hurt for you guys.
I think Washington is going to stroll to a 12-0 injury free season then find it tough to match up with any of the top 4 to 6.
We? Have one of the best S&C coaches in the nation who keeps them healthy. Unlike some schools who try to make them run until they pass out and have to go to the hospital. We have had a couple big injuries like Byron Murphy and Chico Mcclatcher but surprise! Our coaches develop players so the depth behind them steps in and there isn't much of a drop off.
Enjoyed your long winded quook frustration post. As far as doing something different... personally I wasn't a fan of that whole 7 win thing, trusting freshman to saviors to bring the program to relevance, and "cool" weeks and tigers and shit. I've been enjoying watching almost every player on the team consistently get better, bigger, stronger, and faster thing. I also like the 11+ win thing.
