SI's way to early top 25 ... Washington #5 (holy fuck) ...
5. Washington
Anyone ready for another purple-clad Playoff crasher? The Huskies could have a chance. In the final analysis, Kalen DeBoer was the best first-year coach not named Sonny Dykes. He now has the chance for a huge second season. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr., who finished in the top 10 in the Heisman Trophy voting, is coming back, as are most of his prime receiving targets. The Huskies have done some work in the transfer portal that should bolster the defense, particularly Oklahoma State defensive back Jabbar Muhammad. In terms of the schedule, there will be a trip to USC, but Oregon must come to Seattle. We’ll see whether Michigan State has recovered sufficiently to provide a test in East Lansing early.
Love the pub ... #5?
Guess i'll have to work on my recent PTSD ... maybe if this was a continuation of the early 90's or circa Vea/Petersen ... I have a hard time seeing Washington ranked higher than Ohio State and Alabama ... but fuck yeah.

Wilner has them at #5 as well. In the way too early before spring variety but if they can replicate this season, and beat a shitty ASU team, then #5 is very feasible.

Time for our DAWGS to get the 1 seed

The last two years we won the offseason Natty we completely face planted.
2019: Washington 2.0 led by Eason (We lose to Cal in a 6 hour monsoon and plummet to the Vegas Bowl as Pete gives up.)
2021: Defending North Champs w/ Lake ready to take Petersen's guys to the next level (We lose to Montana and Coug, long live St. Ruperake)
I'm not liking this hype. -
Time to embrace it and believe that DeBoner completes his work to everyone’s satisfaction with an indestructible Penix.Doogles said:The last two years we won the offseason Natty we completely face planted.

Oh no expectations so scary!

Just get to at least #3 in the final CFP so we* can play in the Rose.

I thought 2018 was their highest pre-season rank? Face planted that year by losing to an above average Auburn team in the opener and to the Cal menace. Shit, if they win those games, they still just go to the Rose Bowl and lose to Ohio State.Doogles said:The last two years we won the offseason Natty we completely face planted.

...if we get 2-3 seed, do we get Rose? So if we get 1 seed, we dont?
