They say the 13-person committee is going to place a heavy emphasis on strength of schedule. Woodward might want to rethink scheduling the likes of Portland State, Idaho State and Georgia State.

    I will believe it when I see it. It is still going to be the same dog and pony show it ever was. SEC Champion will be in there… NEXT it will be the undefeated BCS schools regardless of schedule, then which ever 1 loss team lost first and had the most time to climb the polls.

    Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was.

    We'd all love it if our Portland States and Idaho States and Georgia States were replaced with San Jose States and Idahos and San Diego States, but until the SEC, ACC and Big 12 stop scheduling these D1-AA schools, it's not like it's really going to impact our strength of schedule.

    In fact, some Cal nerd crunched some numbers on the myth of SOS and saw that scheduling a weak OOC and going undefeated is better than trying to schedule a Pat Hill TUFF schedule and going 2-1 or worse.

    Why schedule Michigan State when you can schedule Georgia State?

    Really Derek? Pretty clear weve touched on this to the point of puking already. UW has traditionally scheduled a solid ABC, AAB and ABB schedule. Not our fault Hawaii and Georgia St stink this year.

    And UW isnt playing Georgia St the week before the apple cup. The SEC barely plays a BCC schedule so I think you should question Auburn's AD first

    Why not do both?

    Abundance.
    lol. I wasn't aware we're playing them next year too.

    Cal fans had to come up with some ranking system that kept them in the top trillion.

    Disagree

    Sven Thorsen (born TierbsHsotBoobs[1] July 7 1977) was a Hungarian-Norwegian pornographic actor.

    In 1997, he moved from Hungary to Lillestrøm, Norway as a refugee, before later moving to the U.S. He started his career in pornography in 1999, at age 22.[2] After retiring from performing, he returned to Norway in 2011.[2] In 2038, at age 61, he will die from heart problems while on holiday in Thailand.[1][2]

    Thorsen had five children and married three times.:

    Rosalinda Ponce Thorsen (married: June 1987 - divorced: August 1996), three children,
    Aud Berggren Thorsen (married: August 1999 - divorced: March 2003), two children and
    Anita Thorsen (married: September 2007 - divorced: September 2007), no children.

    He was a close friend of gay pornography actor Race Bannon.[3] Besides pornography, he had worked as a commercial pilot, writer, circus musician, soldier, pear-shaped high school football referee and as a Keith Gilbertson and Bobby Ayala look-alike.[1][2]

    He knew seven languages: Norwegian, English, Hungarian, German, HTML, Spanish and Annoyance.

    Example #213 that PL_SS is a Doog:

    "Not our fault that Hawaii and Georgia St stink this year."

    Here's a clue fucko, Hawaii tradionally sucks and Georgia St is in it's 2nd or 3rd year of D1.
    Exactly, because when Woody was scheduling Georgia State he did it with the thought they would be a top 25 team by then.

    Georgia State just needs more time to get their D1 guys in there.

    I will believe it when I see it. It is still going to be the same dog and pony show it ever was. SEC Champion will be in there… NEXT it will be the #3 SEC team that didn't get into the Championship Game, but everyone says is the second-best team in the country, then undefeated BCS schools regardless of schedule.

    Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was.

    Adjusted for appropriate amount of bias.

    The reason we scheduled Georgia State is because of five two reasons. The first is they needed D1 games but struggled because most teams filled out their non-conference schedules years ago. We had an opening because of the Hawaii game, so rather than take an extra BYE, Woody though it'd be worthwhile to schedule another game and make a few extra bucks.

    The second reason is because GSU has a number of former Huskies on the staff, mainly Willingham era guys. Trent Miles is the coach, along with Lappano, JD Williams and Luke Huard (always wondered what happened to him, guess he's out there doing nothing). With so many PNW guys on the roster, it makes sense for them to want to play games up here in order to establishing a recruiting foothold here in the state and region. Not only will they be able to recruit the south for Sun Belt-caliber recruits, but they'll be able to pick up kids from the PNW who would otherwise be destined to Idaho, Wyoming or Eastern. This game makes so much more sense for GSU than it does for UW and the only reason we're doing it is because they needed games and Woody is being nice to some old coaches.

    Anyone who thought GSU would be good or even respectable is out of their mind. The game is entirely political between Woodward and those old Huskies stuck down in Atlanta.
