As of now these are the class rankings of schools we are talking about:
#11 Oregon
#54 Washington
#60 USC
Facts about 3 star recruits in this years class
Clemson has FIVE 3 star commits
Alabama has THREE 3 star commits
LSU has FIVE 3 star commits
Raw numbers are meaningless at this point, the only thing that matters (for a school that has any decent ability to recruit anyway) are percentages.
Clemson: 4 3 stars out of 18 commits = 87.8% blue chips, overall average score of 94.56 (1st) Bama: 3 3 stars out of 15 commits = 80% blue chips, overall average score of 93.35 (4th) LSU: 5 3 stars out of 20 commits = 75% blue chips, overall average score of 92.47 (5th) Oregon: 7 3 stars out of 13 commits = 46.15% blue chips, overall average score of 89.58 (19th) Washington: 3 3 stars out of 6 commits = 50% blue chips, overall average score of 89.06 (21st)
Washington and Oregon's classes are roughly equal right now. You can argue Oregon's is better because fuller is better than emptier, but OTOH Oregon's top commit in these calculations isn't really committed to them and Washington's class is definitely trending better of late.
I'm honestly kind of surprised by how much Oregon's recruiting momentum has slowed down, I didn't expect that. Ever since the shit they pulled with Smalls it's like they can only take 3 stars. It's almost like karma's a bitch...
This is fair, but come on, it's a lot easier to shoot 50% from 3 on 2 attempts per game.
True, but when you're talking about a program which took 15 four stars and 8 3 stars last year, but is at 50-50 right now, I'd rather have more spots open than more spots filled in that scenario.
I mean, yeah, UW is recruiting very very well, but dudes are committing earlier and earlier and the number of blue chip prospects later in the recruiting cycle is lower and lower. You'd rather have 3/6 than 6/13 because one time ever y'all got more than 50% 4 stars? And yes, it's awfully fucking hot for February. Also, the whole stars thing is bullshit. The rating makes a helluva lot more sense.
I understand your reasoning and it's fairly sound. Based on the kids UW is in on, I feel confident we are going to do better than 50%.
I agree the number rating thing is better than stars. The star concept is decent in theory but awful in practice. There's just way too much disparity between the top 3 stars and the bottom.
Well Oregon has at least won a playoff game and been in two NC games. I don’t think any other PAC 12 team has won a playoff game. I could be wrong. We won that game and with it the Rose Bowl.
It’s a tell that you have to keep trying to have to convince yourself of where UW is compared to others. It speaks to your insecurity.😂
Yeah two head coaches ago. What have they done lately?
It was a good win for Oregon. The walk off 6 may be a pivotal moment for the program. However, do remember Oregon fans are less than five years off playing for an NC. No one is settling for a victory against a rival.
It could have been a pivotal moment but then you? played like shit the rest of the year.

It's moar of a tell that the CFP has only been around a few years and you don't know which Pac 12 teams have won playoff games.

FWIT, they played like shit before that too.
I mean you were 5-1 and ranked #12 after that game. I agree it was an optimistic view but you certainly had a chance for that win to galvanize some things and spring you guys forward.

Oregon went 4-7, 7-5 and 9-4. It’s almost like there’s a trend. Will Oregon bust through and win 10? Who knows? The walk off six certainly will give the team confidence that they can play with anyone in this league.
Someone got pancakes block too. Must mean they’re weak.
That was a walk-on and it wasn't a pancake. It was a hold as he was reaching to make the tackle and then a block in the back to the ground and wasn't called. We all know Oregon got lucky. Do I need to post pictures of UW's championship trophy?
Block in the back...lol
Uh yeah watch the play. Bronson reaches to making the tackle and the Oregon lineman holds him and then blocks him in the back and falls on him. That's not a pancake. That's a penalty. Home cooking. Won't happen this season. 135-54. #1 in the North. Conference Champs.

Lol a freeze frame before Bronson reaches to make the tackle and the hold occurs. FAIL.

Now proceed with Cristobal = Sark.
And now they're gonna plateau at 7-8 win seasons. Ah yes, the old "we beat this team that's better than us so now we can play with anybody" bullshit. Been there, done that.

C,mon Sac. Bronson lunges and anything remotely resembling a hold is well after the TD.
