The thin veil hiding everyones doog will fly off at mach 3 like usual

Jon Wilner disagrees, sort of. He does think UW will beat Michigan though:

Washington
Projected record: 9-3/6-3
Wins: vs. Montana, at Michigan, vs. Arkansas State, vs. Cal, vs. UCLA, at Arizona, vs. Oregon, vs. Arizona State, vs. Washington State
Losses: at Colorado, at Stanford, at Oregon State
Comment: We expect the Huskies to win in Ann Arbor — 21-17 sounds about right — but gave serious thought to picking a loss the following week, against sneaky Arkansas State. UW’s sub-elite talent at the skill positions and its preferred style of play (run-heavy) are such that close games will be frequent and upset losses likely. The key to success is the pass rush; with the injury to Zion Tupuola-Fetui, we’re not convinced it will reach the level required on a sustained basis to fuel a division title.

Wilner isn't wrong about Arky State. Trap game. They also played a full season last year - the only team on the schedule that did

Go Red Wolves!

Wilner loves to play cuntrarian. UW isn’t losing at CU

Exactly. UW hasn't lost at CU since... oh shit. The Beavis pick is a good one if you're trying to make a hawt take you can brag about later, as they're well corched and have a Petersenesque style of play that keeps games close. That being said, no Jefferson, no way. Wilner always picks a loss to Stanford, and fuck the guy for always being right--that was just a smart pick, and I'm with him. For me, most likely to least likely losses go:

1.) Stanford
2.) Michigan
3.) UCLA
4.) Oregon
5.) ASU
6.) Colorado
7.) Cal

Pick four...

First and most obviously, Oregon’s quarterback situation crumbles


didnt really think oregon's qb situation was in a good spot to begin with but i suppose it can always get worse.

Beat Michigan, lose to Cal and Stanford, 10-2 Nothwest and PAC North Champions! Mark it down

Not losing to wolverines, beavers or bears. Might get beat by the tree though.

Road loss to Stanford should be etched in stone. It's one of the 12 commandments.

We'll be outcoached, no question on that. Stanford took by far the heaviest losses of anybody in the Pac this year though. I think we win this one on sheer talent advantage alone. But it will be ugly and close.

He also has a massive hard on for USC and throws shade at any program north of the CA/OR border.
