    Stanford should be punished for blowing a second chance at SC in a game that mattered more and losing to fucking Coog. MW loss as well.

    I don’t think this will happen but would be awesome if it did. I wouldn’t mind TCU in the Alamo Bowl as well. Couldn’t hurt our Texas recruiting if we could beat them in Texas.

    Alamo bowl is the worst 2nd place bowl of every conference...AAC and MWC included. Its an embarrassment for the 2nd best top-bottom conference in america

    Off topic but did anyone else notice that stupid ESPN commercial about bowl games that starts with, “I’ve seen a Bowl of Cotton that was anything but soft...”

    doesn’t have a single PAC-12 team highlight?

    Chintresting because Furd would be punished for making it to said CCG and losing, and Washington would be rewarded for not making it at all and leapfrog the team that beat them. Only in cfb would such logic prevail, and it just might.

    As for being skulled by Georgia ... Georgia ain't bama boy. Best get that straight. I think Washington could beat Georgia. It wouldn't be that big a surprise to me.

    Unless USC completely blows the doors off Stanford (which won’t happen) the I highly doubt this scenario plays out even if TCU ends up losing too.
    The other thing is, with all the poor mouthing that this conference does, and some of it is in fact justified, I'm not sure Stanford gets to join in the whining. They don't get quite the pass that USC gets, but the country does give them a pass. Just as SC is the national brand for West coast 'traditional power', Stanford has developed a national brand as the West coast 'tuff' program. They are viewed as a Big 10-type 'blue collar' (I'm running out of cliches) program and they get national play because of that and because it is the single highest combo of academis and competitive D1 sports ... no school that matches them in that category. Not one.

    We would get skull fucked.

    That’s a pussy way to think about things.
    See SmithFS vs. Bama.

    Stanford has earned that brand. They are the premier program of the PAC 12 in its 7 years of existence. Shaw don't care if he blows an early game or 2. By November they are a physical monster of a team.

    UW was able to use its speed but as the old coach said, fast players slow down, big players don't get small.

    If you get out on them early and pile it on they tend to flounder. Let them stay around hitting you and you tend to lose

    To get UW to move into top 10 and perhaps the Cotton Bowl - Ohio St, TCU, USC, and UCF need to lose. Stanford would jump UW but UW would move up 3 spots.
    Georgia, Miami, Auburn, Clemson, Oklahomo, Wisconsin losing will not affect UW – at most maybe come up one spot.

    ACC and SEC playoff doesn’t impact UW but B1014 and B1210 do – root for Badgers and Homo to win.
