    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.

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

    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.

    No way man. You're playing to win it all.
    No ribbons. Everything but the playoffs
    is exhibition football.

    I don't see a scenario where the Pac-12 gets two NY6 games.

    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.

    TL, DR:

    The playoff isn't stupid.

    Washington sucks too much to compete nationally.
