Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

So you're not on a UW site trying to convince everyone OU has a better resume?flatus said:

I'm saying USC won't be useful to anyone.
Whether Arizona ends up ranked is dubious. It's a much better win than anyone thought going in, though.
Like I said, who the fuck cares. Win out or STFU. It's that simple and most of you know this or you wouldn't be trying to figure out how to get into the playoff if UW loses the CCG. Relax, UW isn't going to lose to Oregon. -
I agree, though I believe UW's will be superior in that case. Obviously a million permutations left that could tilt things in either team's direction.flatus said:

And Utah still has to play at Washington and at Arizona, it's very possible that road win loses plenty of luster before the Utes plunger the Primes.
But I never said the best road win was the only factor. I'm saying UW won't have one as strong as of now and road wins are weighed more heavily in the SOR calculation. If Utah loses only to UW, it will likely still remain the highest ranked P12 team at season's end. I said LIKELY.
Regardless, the SOR will be very similar if both teams win out and UO beats UW in CCG.
Fair enough?

This. Dumbest is always best IMO when it comes to this league. The point is for it to entertain, right?whlinder said:
That one becomes a mess cause I think it goes to the record vs the next highest standing P12 team, and predicting who is 6-3 is an exercise in futility.ntxduck said:
Yes—assuming the greased up wildcats also lost another somewhere (too lazy rn to look up tiebreakers between a 7-2 az and Oregon in this scenario)PostGameOrangeSlices said:
Wouldnt Oregon still play us in the title game if that happens? Beav would have 3 lossesDoogieMcDoogerson said:But Oregon is going to lose to Oregon State. Book it. Jonathan Smith will push all the right buttons. Guy's a genius.
The one known is the only schedule difference between Arizona and Oregon is Arizona played UCLA and Oregon plays Cal, so if it gets to the one of the very last tiebreakers Arizona probably wins on UCLA > Cal.
See the Pac-12 tiebreaker thread. Still rooting for the absolute dumbest outcome to occur.

I became a UW fan in Year 1 of the Willingham era, so my default setting is about as pessimistic and catastrophic as possible. This year's team just looks different than any UW team I've personally watched. Every time they've been in a position that should absolutely result in a loss, they're unfazed and come out with a win. I'm done betting against that until I see something different.bananasnblondes said:You all are way more optimistic about beating Oregon. I give us like a 25% chance if it's us or them for the CFP.
[NOTE: the little Ty Willingham on my shoulder would normally be saying that writing this post assures a humiliating loss to Utah, but he's off golfing somewhere] -

But SOR will be virtually identical IF both teams win out AND Oregon wins the CCG.
FURTHER: IT WON'T MATTER. Win out or stay home.

It's so much easier with divisions. No wonder they changed it.

Oregon would have an outside shot at making the playoff with divisions.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:It's so much easier with divisions. No wonder they changed it.
1) UW loses CCG to South, UO wins out
or
2) UW and UO win out, FSU and Michigan lose, Texas looks pedestrian in B12 CCG. Oregon would need to plunger last 3 teams. Both UW and UO are in. This how @WoolleyDoog was saying the SEC and B1G frequently get 2 teams. It would be a looooong shot thanks to being in the P12 but I think there would be as good an argument as any previous scecario when conferences have gotten 2 teams in.

Yes. He is. And he is trying WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too hard and using too little logical thought in the process.RoadTrip said:

He probably still thinks Utah's win against Florida is top tier stuff. Someone needs to tell him that rankings change throughout the season. And, therefore, so does the quality of those wins.
By his (lack of) logic 0regon's win over Utah triumphs UW's win over 0regon. That appears to be his convoluted logic and since it is 0regon's best win (he doesn't credit Arizona here) I see why he is doing it. But, that doesn't make it close to being logical. -
