I don't think anybody good wants to schedule a home and home with UW anymore. Long travel. Difficult opponent. I think Michigan and Ohio State scheduled us a while back thinking we would be solid but not a real threat to beat them. 2020 and beyond, UW should be good enough to beat anybody, especially if it's a home game. We're gonna beat Michigan's ass next season if Eason stays.
As long as Bama is going to the playoff every year with a cupcake schedule I don't really give a fuck. They take the easiest path to the CFP every year and are never punished for it. The cupcake games are also good for getting young players game reps and developing depth.
If we're going to whine about weak OOC schedules we should at least acknowledge the challenges Jen faces scheduling quality opponents at home. How many of those 12 losses were at home? I see LSU beat us by 8 in '09.

and we watched in horror as Doogs celebrated that loss as a win on Dawgman
My lasting memories of that game are 1) my brother and me elbowing a bunch of Tiger fans out of the way so that the first thing the LSU players saw when they got off their bus was a couple of drunken husky fans woofing at them.... and 2) the immense disappointment at losing the fucking game.....as usual. Doogs Dooging is beside the point. We suck until we don't. That doesn't change the fact that it's tough to get anyone good to come play here.

It made the 41-3 loss three years later all the more demoralizing. Then that spawned Kim's classic "When I saw those LSU linemen standing there on the field, I knew we didn't have a chance"* comment to admonish those of us who were upset that Sark allowed such a beat down in year four. He always was adept at trying to look like the smartest guy in the room once the game actually concluded. Him and Fleenor have a lot in common.
*He first said this about the 2010 Nebraska ass whooping. Thankfully our fantastic nutrition program miraculously bridged the gap in four months, just in time for the Holiday Bowl.
The SEC plays an 8 game conference schedule AND schedules cupcakes near the end of their seasons. If you can't see how that gives them a distinct advantage of getting into the CFP, I can't help you.

and, quite honestly, that was probably the source of Sark's more appropriate comment of all time.
to paraphrase "I've never been congratulated so much for losing a game" (while looking befuddled...which, we all thought at the time was the confused look of an elite coach who lost a game and didn't get excoriated for it...but turns out was likely the confusion a drunkard has when he doesn't really know where he is or how he got there).

Alabama beat us soundly on a neutral field
Auburn beat us on a neutral field.
Washington is something like 1-12 all time against the SEC. (If you don't count the forfeit win over Mississippi State in 1977)
We aren't in a position to call them pussies for God's sake
