So what do we want?

bananasnblondes

If we win out, are we hoping to squeak into the CFP to face an assured brutal and embarrassing ass-raping at the hands of Bama?

Or do we take the snub and have our pissed off players take it out on some team like Pedo State in a non-playoff BCS game?

Win out, beat USC for the belt and see what happens.

We? can only control that

Dennis_DeYoung

I don't want any fucking part of the playoff. I hate it on every level. It's stupid and awful.

Also - I want to be somewhere where we can recruit within 1000 miles of there. Fiesta, Holiday whatever. This team is not going to win a Natty - so let's go max benefit.

phineas

The whoa is me attitude is pathetic and embarrassing. Locate your testicles.

Win out and make the cfp deny a 1 loss pac12 champ.

Fenderbender123

I want playoffs. Fuck all the other meaningless bowl games.

Playoff >> anything else

an elite bowl like the Fiesta or Cotton (I don't know how the hell it works now, it changes every two years) >>>>> Alamo, Connor Holiday, Sun etc.

So making an elite bowl isn't horrible. Going to the Holiday Bowl is not good.

Bread

I think we can make the nit this year

whlinder

If we win out, it's far more likely we make the playoff than we don't and end up in the Fiesta.

There's only one "elite" "bowl" game. It's in Atlanta this year. All the rest are for also rans.

This is why the playoff is FS.

We aren’t winning the playoff shit head. Would you like to one day? Yes, me too.

As such, we need to recruit about 50% better than we have been.

Now that we’ve got the right coach, we need the horses.

Anyone here who thinks we have a shot to win the playoff this year is a fucking moron.

The main reason we cannot Win the playoff this year is we don’t have the talent. Like it or lump it, it’s the truth.

For so long around here, the scales got so tilted toward “coaching is all that matters” because when you have shitty coaches, it’s true - it really doesn’t make a fuck bit of difference who you recruit.

However, when you have the RIGHT coaches (which we overwhelmingly do), it makes all the difference in the world.

If we had talent closer to USC’s rather than being closer to Iowa’s, we would be the UGA of the West. But as it stands now, we are the Wisconsin of the West because everyone knows that if we run into a top tier talent team, we will get stuffed. Like we did vs USC and Bama last year.

So while I’m not opposed to cutting my dick off, cut your own shit off if you don’t think that the thing separating us from entering the talent sphere where Clemson is now (which is achievable; we will never be in the same talent tier as Bama or USC) shouldn’t be the top priority of the program.

I am happy to take bets on our chances at winning the Natty this year... want them? Of course not.

So, all this shit is just symbolic posturing.

Pitchfork51

The safe route is to get snubbed by the playoffs so that you can complain about how you would have beaten whichever team plays badly in the playoff game.

Then lose in the fiesta bowl to Oklahoma State or something.

USC had three losses last year, didn't even win the south, and made the Rose Bowl. If they lose to UW for a third loss they are alive. No one else. UW losing to USC and ending 11-2 is not going to get a NY6 because, Washington

TL, DR:

The playoff isn't stupid.

Washington sucks too much to compete nationally.

phineas

I'd rather take the chance at getting beat by a good team so you can see what needs to improve.

Plus, Pete is making Washington a destination. He's not a salesman. You either want to come to Washington to play in big games and improve, or you want to be a college superstar dancing on the sidelines playing in worthless games.

Good poont. USC can get a second bid by losing to Washington if the Huskies make the CFP.

There's no logical scenario where Washington doesn't win the Pac-12 and somehow makes the NY6...is there?

Since the NY6 have become less important I’ve forgotten what the criteria are.... the bowls contracted to a conference champ have to replace from the same conference, right? And the group of 5 gets 1 team.

There won’t be too many teams left with fewer than 3 losses.

Pretty much. The Rose had to pick USC/Colorado to replace UW last year. They don't this year because they are a CFP semifinal. I think it's safe to assume UW would have to be in the top 10 to get into one of the four other bowls if the Huskies don't win the Pac-12. I don't think that happens, but it's too far out to know for sure right now.

This info is hard to find. WTF. This was the best article I could find, and it includes some Psalm rape eyes:

https://www.fanragsports.com/the-cfp-bowl-selection-process-cheated-colorado/

But it sounds like after all the contracts are satisfied the remaining spots are filled on straight rankings.

Orange will fill both through their contract (non- playoff ACC highest vs SEC/B10/ND highest)
Cotton (non-playoff B12 highest* vs at-large)
Fiesta (non-playoff P12 highest vs at-large)
Peach (at-large vs at-large)

One of the at-larges will be filled by a Group of 5 team.

*not sure if contractual, but I'm assuming it is

So be in the top 3 rankings of non-contractual at-larges.

So tldr is it is possible but too far out to know for sure.
