    Fucking metrics

    Lol at one spot behind Oregon. How do they come up with this shit? They won the PAC 12 and the Rose Bowl. We went 8-5 and played in the Vegas Bowl.

    I get that it is supposed to be a true measure of how good a team Oregon and UW were. I would even agree that Oregon is not much better than us. That’s why it was a close game when we played. Results are results tho. Fuck off saying an 8-5 UW team was anywhere close to as good as Oregon.
    Aren't the S&P+ rankings an average of the last five years? Our results both on the field and recruiting-wise probably averages out to be on the same level as Oregon in that period.

    The issue is we're trending down and they're trending up, which isn't necessarily reflected in S&P+.
    The issue is that metrics have ZERO meaning between Washington & Oregon in 2019. They beat usº and won the conference and won the Rose Bowl. The only metric with any meaning is 12-2 vs 8-5.

    I thought we found out advanced metrics don't mean shit when Chester left with his SRS

    Kwat was so high on Ngata. His best game was against Auburn and he did almost nothing after that.

    He seemed incapable of putting on the weight necessary to play OLB. Never got over 220
    Kwat said that didn’t matter and he was the guy with natural pass rushing skills. It would be disappointing if he left and it seems like we kind of blew it with him.

    Obviously they don’t mean shit for accomplishments. Nobody hands out an S&P+ championship belt.

    The metrics are for looking forward and predicting future results.
    No one was harder on Chest than me but weren't we killing him during Petersen's first two years for saying the metrics were positive for the future and then we had the magical season of 2016?

    All this is fine until we lose to Oregon again

    I liked that Lake openly admitted we need the best players from the state. Pete would never hype up those guys like that in front of a crowd.

    He also said that on the biggest recruiting weekend of the year.

    I wonder if he planned that...
