    You’re going to destroy Oregon and win the north. Did you have different goals for the season?

    Perhaps our apple cup dominance had nothing to do with WSU and Mike Leach. Perhaps we just know how to FINISH!?!?!?!!!!!!

    However, the midget sidearm thrower might give us a turnover.

    Probably

    I’ve done the Pac-12 tiebreaker logic puzzle. They didn’t expect this many canceled games when they drew this up.

    Wazzu’s game against USC tomorrow and Beavlets game against Utah tonight still matter.

    If 4-1 Washington and 3-1 Wazzu both win out they are tied for first. Washington wins on tie breaker

    If Washington loses and Wazzu is 3-1 then Wazzu wins.

    Then it gets complicated. If Oregon wins out and Wazzu loses 1/2 they win, unless there is a multi team tie that involves Oregon State. It gets even worse from there.

    Everyone except Cal can finish tied for first, only Washington controls their destiny and even that could be challenged if Wazzu finished 3-1.


    I’d assume they’d give it to UW. 4-1 > 3-1 and too bad coogs it’s a weird year.

    If WSU Wins out and UW beats Oregon, here are the tiebreakers.

    1. Head-to-head (best record in games among the tied teams)
    2. Record in games played within the division


    Stop right there. Kind of ambiguous. UW would be 2-1, WSU would be 3-1

    3. Record against the next highest placed team in the division (based on record in all games played within the Conference), proceeding through the division
    4. Record in common Conference games
    5. Team with the highest College Football Playoff (CFP) ranking
    6. Cumulative winning percentage of each tied team’s Conference opponents
    7. Highest ranking by SportSource Analytics following the last weekend of regular-season games

    Number of wins as long as it’s +\- within one doesn’t matter. Losses are what counts. 4-1 is the same as 3-1 in the tie breaker scenario.

    Washington would get the tie breaker because they would have the head to head over the next highest placed division team. Both beat Beavlet, Wazzu didn’t play Stanford, and Cal can’t finish above Stanford. That means Oregon.

    I should add that as long as Wazzu is within +\- 1 game of the average number of games played by conference teams. That number is 4.8 or something so teams must play at least 4.
