    This is fucking amazing. Basically every state in our conference thinks UW will be better than USC in the next five years.

    I have a feeling we are going to have to start hating Mora soon as UW-UCLA could be playing in a lot of championship games.

    Yep...the worst thing about not getting Mora is that a competitor retains potentially the best coach in the conference.
    Good news is USC who is the biggest threat in the conference basically announced they were a football school.

    I think UW/Stanford/Oregon control the North while USC/UCLA/ASU controls the South.

    With UW eventually passing them up and UCLA owning the South.
    The South will definitely be a lot tougher.

    USC with Sark is still going to recruit extremely well and average 9-10 wins. UCLA is going to win the South the next two years and is a top 10 program with Mora. The state of Arizona has a lot of talent and I think Graham and RichRod are going to keep that in state (something that hasn't been done in Arizona).

    Meanwhile, we are now trending up in the north with the clear best coach in the division while Oregon and Stanford have likely peaked. Not saying we will dominate, just saying we have a path to be potentially the best team in the north over the next 5 years. It will be very competitive though.
    I'm really not scared of any team in the North now. I'm not saying the Huskies will dominate but Shaw will probably go to the NFL, and I keep repeating myself like an idiot every year, but Stanfraud will not keep winning eleven or twelve games each year. You can already see that Oregon is fading. Uncle Phil will throw money at the problem to prevent them from becoming an also ran, but it's not like that will ever be a destination job. They really lucked out with Chimp. It's set up nicely for the Huskies (like it ought to be - finally).

    Money talks. Big money talks even bigger. If Helfrich shits all over what's been handed to him, they'll drop $5 million or more easily on a big name. Also Kip Kinkel is joining the team. He's filling in for Colt Lyerla. Better watch out.

    The fact that they even bothered to ask the question is a step in the right direction.

    Not that far from a 50-50 vote. I guess that means the national expectations are that UW definitely contends routinely for Pac12 championships. If Petersen is here for 10 years I expect to be in the p12 north champ game 4-5 times.
    Four+ p12 champ games in 10 years is the upper limit of realistic. I'm not willing to put that level of expectation on him. Oregon and Stanford aren't going away; I think a 3 way split with those schools plus one anomaly, say leach pulls off a dream year, and that's about what I expect.

    We will play in and win a P12 title under Peterson. Against Sark. Book it.
    No fucking way Sark gets to a conference championship game. No way, no how, not now, not ever.
    Sark won't beat Mora or Graham once in his tenure at USC. Fucking cook it.
    Almost an amazing Cook it! from @PostGameOrangeSlices.

    Sark managed to beat ASU while drunk the game before hitting rock bottom.

    No. You didn't get it done last year. And history shows UW has a natty caliber team every 25 to 30 years.
