    UW is a top 20 program by all metrics. It brings a massive media market, history of success, big fanbase, legit stadium etc.


    Top 20 is a stretch anymore

    - massive media market. Potentially sure but the west coast doesn't GAF about football anymore with the exception of the 12's which is dying as Carroll is dying
    - history of success. Like Minnesota or Army? One cfp ass ramming and some blowouts on NYD is hardly success. Not in my book anyway.
    - big fanbase. Too lazy to look up attendance numbers but I go to the games and see waves of empty seats. Hardly.
    - legit stadium. See above. They actually dropped the seating from 72k to 70k for a reason. Should've made it 60k.


    HTH.

    Here is a good argument for Top 20: http://www.winsipedia.com/washington

    This website is ridiculous.

    There is not a world that exists where UW gets fucked out of a "superconference" merger.

    Too much money is at stake for the University, which has shown a commitment to improving the program since the Ty Willingham cratering.

    A lot of poasters have the perception that UW is a top 10 blueblood from an expectations perspective, while on the other hand treating UW like the KSU, okie lites, and WVUs of the world when it comes to realignment.

    Yall need to get your shit together, grab the significant other, and take a walk on the beach

    This. We are NOT a Top 10 blue blood. Never have been. We ARE a legit top 20 program rather easily. No other program west of Austin could put 65,000 to 69,000 in Husky Stadium after Owen 12.
    On the other hand, no other program west of Austin has had an Owen 12, either
    True, but no college team has even managed Owen 12 and a top 4 finish in the same 9 year stretch.
    I think we finished #3 in 2000
    Behind a team we beat
    That would have beat us by 2 TDs on a neutral field later in the year.

    I miss old Husky Stadium. The new one just can't get it done.

    You're both right.

    *Our winners shouldn't have been losers at Oregon though, then there'd be no need to disagree.

    I'm tingling with suspense waiting to see your list of 20 stronger programs than UW

    I was there. Very frustrating game that ended with the ball in Tui's hand and a less than one score lead. UW never had it that day. I blame the Miami hangover

    I had to listen to that one. All I remember was it seemed like Gilby had no answer for Oregon stacking the box. He kept running into it and Tui kept throwing into it.

    Sounds kinda familiar.
