So what do we want?

IMO we don't have enough offensive talent to win 2 games at the CFP level ... we likely play a game like last year where we lose 20-7 or something like that.
I don't think I could ever whole heartedly endorse the "let's not compete for a championship" idea ...
But at the same time, if you look to last year's offseason, the P12 narrative was that USC was back because they beat an overrated Pedo St team in an exciting, yet sloppy, Rose Bowl whereas we were "blown out" and "overmatched" against Alabama ...
One played in the CFP last year, one lost 3 games ... the team that lost 3 games but won their bowl game started the season ranked higher ...
It's not open or shut ... but it's quite possible that not being in a CFP game and playing an overrated Wisconsin or somebody like that would be better momentum to the offseason. -
So you're we are better served to win the off-season than to compete for a natty? #OffseasonNattySZNTequilla said:IMO we don't have enough offensive talent to win 2 games at the CFP level ... we likely play a game like last year where we lose 20-7 or something like that.

first, USC will always get massive offseason hype. this is particularly true if they win a bowl game. this is because they are USC. same shit happens for ND. it is fallacious to think UW would sniff 1/50 of that kind of offseason bukkake hype, even if we beat a team like wisconsin 58-7 in the fiesta bowl.
second, it's pretty doogish to entertain the idea of winning offseason hype over a chance to win a fucking national championship, however slim.
third, who gives a shit about P12 narratives. are you sven all of the sudden or what. win.
fourth, we have enough offensive talent to score 17-24 points on any of these teams not named bama. jsfs might very well vomit over himself, of course, but i disagree the talent isn't there.
fifth, there is no better momentum than 2 straight CFP final fours. a loss again in the 1st game would even still likely yield more offseason natty capital than a fiesta bowl win. how many teams can say they've been back to back. come on.
sixth, o'doyle rules! -
With the roles reversed, USC starts the season ranked 1. UW starts the season ranked 25Tequilla said:IMO we don't have enough offensive talent to win 2 games at the CFP level ... we likely play a game like last year where we lose 20-7 or something like that.

Aka, who gives a fuck what the preseason rankings are -
The Stanford game is everything. Everything. Lose and the cycle of hell we all know starts again. Win and we blow out everyone (including faggot USC) and start back2back P12 ships on our way to dynasty next year.
It's a huge game. Road. Northern rival. Short week. This team won't lose to a non-Bama team the rest of the year if we win this one. It isn't doogitry. It's reality. Suck my dick and get HIV. I would know.

I want a 16 team tournament, so we'd have a chance to beat the WSU butt pirates twice in one season.

I feel the same way with these huskies that I did with the Seahawks of a few years ago.. they will be in every game with a chance to win. A very hard out. A team you dont want to play.BaldwinIV said:The Stanford game is everything. Everything. Lose and the cycle of hell we all know starts again.

Until the super bowl Seahawks I didn't even know there was a feeling of "expecting to win" because I've been so conditioned to finding ways to lose... through all Seattle sports.
It's not arrogance.. Its confidence. Confidence is everything.
If Browning got himself some real confidence I bet he would be good. -

So we'll lose our way to a better team through better recruiting after missing the playoff and playing in a shit-tier regional bowel game? Not buying that counter-intuitive shit.
The bowel's only matter to the teams involved anymore, since there's no NC trophy waiting for any winner. No intrigue, no suspense, bland interest at best. Play on that team, or the team in the playoff? Which will most kids prefer? Think about it. The importance of Bowels, even NY6, outside the involved team's fans, is fucking nose-diving.
