    1 loss to Utah/Zona in the regular season. Maybe it's because Stanford 2017 was the most painful loss in the Pete era but I think we emphasize that game and Oregon so much that we win by 11ish and doog.

    Then we shit ourselves in horror as the Apple cup and road trip down to Oregon State are close because we're sleep walking. Beavlet running back runs all over us. Leach tries some new shit against us.

    Meet up with ASU/SC, possibly even Zona because of JJ Taylor in the championship. Truly think it's not Utah. We have enough experience in that game to win it again.

    New Years 6 win over an overrated Michigan or Florida who shits themselves so bad offensively we win without looking great. If we lose it's because we get some team like Georgia or an improved Auburn.



    Ahmed is the offensive player of the year. Not an every down back but the pac 12 media likes their home run hitters. Eason and Herbert a little underwhelming because of picks/completion % and most teams trying to run the ball this year.

    Some Utah lineman gets defensive player of the year.

    side note: we somehow are nervous for BYU and then plunger them on the road while I cross the line about mormons and Utah here blacked out.

    I think we lose 1 road game hopefully Arizona but likely Stanford (I also kind of worry about BYU).

    At home I think we also drop one, kind of like UCLA 1990, Maybe we lose to Utah.

    Hopefully that wins us the divisions and we go on to face Utah again. But I think Stanford with a soft schedule may BS their way to the division.

    In which case we get sent South to face LSU or something and lose.

    The rest may be true, but this alone prompts a response

    People need to start talking about and testing the Apple Cup as the annual plunger that it is. Also John Smith fucking blows

    Apple Cup is a 2013 type of game. Dink and dunk to a 3-7 point lead at half. Announcers go on and on about Leach running the ball now with Borgi. Still win though.

    Beavlet is a Thursday night game this year and while I don't respect JSmith and The Beavlets I do respect his running back. His quarterback is experienced. Hodgins is decent. They score enough to make us nervous.

    And if SC doesn't win the conference, Helton is gone and they get Leach and attempt to keep the offensive system in place with GH. Tracy Claeys is promoted to head coach in Pullman.

    I think we're stuck in this pattern of being pretty good but a notch below the juggernauts like Clumpson, Alabama, and TOSU. The talent and athleticism is not there. It's basically where we usually are as a program historically, or slightly better so it's not a bad place, but I don't see it getting better by continuing to recruit 3 * church goin' white and multi racial boys who are pretty good and low four star guys. Go 7-2 in a lame conference. We used to be told you get five years. Then somehow it turned into like nine....

    There's a nice bell curve from this sample.

    Based on the votes to date, there are 28 (33%) who think we'll make the playoffs, 48 (58%) who think we'll make NY6, and 7 (8%) who think we'll be Alamo or worse.

    The Doog Bot Calculator already made it's preliminary runs and I have to say I'm pretty unchanged since then.

    I think we go 10-2 regular season(Loss to Arizona and Tree most likely). Win the PAC12 CG and then either make the playoffs and lose first round or go to a NY6 and finally win one(and god help us they are probably going to fuck us with a G5 opponent for not performing the last three tims.)

    11-2 or 11-3 counting the playoff loss wasn't an option. That would be my vote.

    Loss at Stanford. Make the playoff, we're? still outclassed at this point and lose the semi.

    No chance we'll go to the playoffs with two losses and this non conference schedule.
    Fair, but I don't think there will be four 1 loss or less teams this year out of the P5 Champions. Alabama + Clemson will be two then maybe Oklahoma(but they have to go to Texas). Let's hope that UCF doesn't go undefeated this year.

    I would guess there will be four contenders with one loss or less (Bama and Georgia from the SEC, potentially) but even if not then whatever other conference has a 2 loss champ will still be ahead of us in line.

    A 2 loss UW with this schedule would be the weakest profile to make the playoffs in the playoff era, rather easily.

    @GrandpaSankey doesn't see it happening.

    Well, I guess I've already embarrassed myself. Put me down for 12-2 with a NY6 win then.

    Our team is more talent and we'll be good, but I see Clemson, Bama, Oklahoma, and tOSU getting in the CFP over us. Even if all 4 of those teams are 12-1, they'd get in over a 12-1 Washington.
    As they should

    Lose @ Arizona (huge trap game sandwiched between USC, Stanford, and Oregon), lose NY6 game due to Kyler Manu sitting out to protect his draft status.

    Going 1-1 in some underwhelming manner against Stanford/UA was the easy call. It's deciding what the second bullshit loss will be that's tough. I decided we? would play like scared little girls and lose to USC yet again despite how shitty they look because it's happened so many times.
    I imagine the rallying cry will be something like "hey at least maybe we saved Helton's job!" If we beat them, I guess maybe it's a loss in a CCG rematch with Utes or some shit.

    The third loss is obviously the bowl game.

    (Fucking Christ, I sound like a battered spouse. Team desperately needs a big win over a big-time team for some of us fans to put that beaten dawg mentality behind us.)

    Lose to Stanford, lose one other game where the team randomly plays like ass (looking in the direction of Arizona historically). Win Pac-12 title game vs. random south midget. Lose Rose Bowl because Petersen is now terrible with long prep time.

    Get an avatar you fucking savage.

    Petersen as head coach at Washington (conference opponents):

    Overall: 32-15, 68%
    Home: 15-7, 68%
    Away: 17-8, 68% (P12CG counts as away for this exercise)

    Against ranked opponent: 9-9, 50%

    In the second of back to back home games: 5-1
    In the second of back to back road games: 3-2 (P12CG excluded for this one)*

    *These last two measures may be statistically worthless due to small sample size and high variation of opponent quality.

    Worst record against (team): Stanford (2-3), ASU (2-3), Oregon (2-3), USC (1-1)
    Worst record against (coach): Graham (1-3), Shaw (2-3), Helfrich (1-2), Helton (0-1), Cristobal (0-1), Wilcox (1-1) (bold denotes current coach)


    It's amazing how consistent the road and home records are, so that's not much help in predicting 2019. There are two sets of consecutive conference road games and one set of consecutive conference home games, the latter of which Petersen has won at a far higher clip since taking over (again, small sample size). Also, Whittingham is one of the current conference coaches against whom Petersen has the best record.

    My losses are one of Stanford and Arizona (mediocre record against Shaw/Stanford vs. slightly below average performance in consecutive away games) and one of USC and Oregon (Petersen's amazing ability to consistently lose to the shittiest coaches in the conference).

    Win P12CG and shit bed in Rose or lose P12CG and win Alamo.
