    Good shit Teq. But apparently having an understanding of the history of the sort makes one a Doog around here.

    UW's lost 2 games this year by 8 points, one of the games in OT, both on the road, and all of a sudden the sky is falling?

    Just doesn't make sense when you consider that this is a year that everybody with half of a brain knew would be a year with a really small margin for error.
    Not sure what you are talking about.
    Losing to Oregon on the road is an embarassment and it proves that Petersen is a loser and Cristobal is a God

    Welp. It turns out Auburn sucks and it may be that Oregon doesn’t. But the game yesterday, while not being a changing of the guard, looked like the PAC 12 N may be the 2nd or 3rd toughest P5 division in the country for the next few years to come. And you have to play all of them every year.

    If we go 8-1, beat SUC in the championship game in front of hundreds and jeans stadium, then beat Michigan in the Rose Bowl, that's not bad. This team hasn't shown its capable of that.

    Lol. That’s not going to happen. Uw loses at least one more. Maybe two. Also, Oregon has to lose one more for uw to have a chance to go to the pac 12 championship. Uw does not control it’s own destiny
    No one but Stanford controls their own destiny right now.
    WSU does too.
    Forgot about them. It's easy to do.

    WSU does but I don’t see it fappening. I like our? Chances next week though.

    When you're highest paid and most reputable coach in the conference, you finish that game. Don't care about it being a road game or the opponent coming off a bye. To choke like that is embarrassing.

    Sometimes average teams beat good ones, good ones give up in the second half of the season after losing two, an average team gets hot for a few weeks. This is college football. Shit changes and weird stuff happens.

    The only thing I know is that Alabama is always great under Saban, Ohio State isn't going anywhere, and Clemson has earned top tier status.

    if someone is going undefeated in conference once every 4 years that is not too difficult. If I had any ambition I would check the other 4 major conferences to see how we compare before making a rash statement about how tough it is.

    Of course, 50% of those numbers is mighty USC - so 1 in 8 sounds better for us common folk

    I didn't realize maff would be involved

    That wasn't learned yesterday … that's been the case for a while

    SEC West
    Big 10 East
    PAC 12 North

    Whatever order that you want to put that at.

    Also important to keep in mind that 7 of those 8 instances come in conference schedules of 8 games or less …

    It's always going to be difficult to run the table in a 9 game conference schedule.
