  Because that was a team that was probably never destined to win 10-12 games

  Lambo and either 94 or 95 coming off a natty run and not capitalizing on that success. 95 gets the vote because of bowl eligibility but fuck, even 93 was underwhelming.

  The '94 team beat Ohio State and Miami and still finishes 7-4??

  I can only go with the ones I watched. 2019 was bad. 2014, despite having Cyler Miles, was also bad.
  
  Edit: 1997. I was so pumped to see UW ranked #3 preseason. What a dud year, especially the way it ended losing to Oregon, plungered by UCLA, and Brock throwing 5 picks in the Apple Cup.

  Pete was impressive in the way he deflected wins in 2014 and 15.

  Too many good choices. I thought the 19 team had playoff potential. The floor was to at least be the NY6 discussion. Instead it was Pete's weakest team since his first at UW.

  1997. Buffet vs Gates bowl. Tui eligibility burned.

  1997 and it’s not close. They were picked #1 by a decent amount of pundits in the pre season and were loaded. As a young doog that is when I knew without a doubt lambo sucked.
  
  Shehee
  Reed
  Pathon
  Coleman
  Kruetz
  Olsen
  Cleeland
  Brigham
  Tuiasosopo/huard
  
  Parrish
  Chorak
  Issa
  Towns
  
  
  And they went 5-3 in conference. I hate lambo so much.
  
  93
  94
  95
  97
  
  All of them were absolutely awful.

  Son of a bitch, the mid 90's... There was some big wins and then some head scratchers. If you weren't standing and making noise on 3rd down, you were told to fuck off and leave, now days, not so much.. Tim's have changed

  Somehow this poll passes over the entire Sark era? That was a whole period of epic underachievement.

  Maybe not but that wasn't mentioned in the pole.
  
  It wasn't a stretch to think they should have won 9 games.
  
  They lost five of those nine games.
  
  5/9 is bigger than any season mentioned.
  
  I am glad it happened but the team quit and ended up losing the apple cup in the greatest cuog blowout ever. Lost to Montana. Ore St and Colorado. And a perennially horrible UCLA.
  
  2021 Jimmy Lake was the perfect dictionary definition of under performing.
