I prefer to look at so-called ranked opponents differently. To me, I don't give a shit if Boise State was ranked because of some preseason bullshit. Or put it this way: should ASU get extra credit for beating us because we were mistakenly ranked? By the end of the year the polls reflect who you actually are. With that in mind, I come up with:
2009 0-3 2010 1-3 2011 0-5 2012 2-3 2013 0-4 (BSU won't make the final poll but I think ASU will)
So I get 3-18. Breaking those numbers down further:
- 9 of those games were away. We have lost all 9 by an average of 25 points (47-22). - 9 of those are home games. We have lost 7 of them. In total, the average score of those games is 17 (UW) -32 (Opponents). - The 3 neutral games (all bowls) shows an amazing Don James-like trait. We are 1-2 but have been outscored by only 1 point total (102-101). - Overall, we are outscored by 17 points in games against teams that end up ranked. The average score for us losing is 39-22.
If people can't grasp the concept of 0.500 I doubt lists of numbers are going to help. It's like trying to explain the difference between a violin and a fiddle to a horse that had been kicked int the head by another horse.

Can't blame you...looks like Wisconsin made a great hire in Gary Anderson while the Doogiest of Doogs are worried that if we drop the ugly chick we have, we'll end up with a heinous chick. I just can't understand that defeatist thinking...is that the philosophy of a winner? I wonder what this great human being would tell them if he was still alive
Fact: I gave a few hundred dollars to Wisconsin (my other alma mater) today and none to Washington. That is much more meaningful than any football related statistic I could dig up.

You need to post this on the Seattle Times comments to the Larry Stone article.
