He gets another year from me, no problem.

Completely bizarre season. Lost 2 games by a total of 6 points (to one team), won the rest by about 300.

You can see player improvement under this staff unlike under the last 3 guys.

Seaver is holding on Lanning.

Lanning is a good coach who assembled a staff of amazing recruiters though they probably aren't the best position coaches.

Oregon's schedule wasn't very difficult as their non-conference schedule was headlined by Texas Tech (come from behind win against them too) and they caught Utah and Oregon State at their worst moments (Utah reeling from peak injuries and Oregon State coming off a very difficult loss to UW, missing two OL starters, and finding out about Smith leaving before the game so it was a funeral for them).

That’s a lot of moral losses, by 4 touchdowns.

The above is no different than any other season as teams play out the schedule. I honestly don’t have any interest in the comic book writing that some of you do.

You are shooting the messenger. You said it was a bizarre season and I pointed out why it wasn't that bizarre when analyzed properly. Another aspect is that Oregon missed Arizona on the schedule and they proved to be the 3rd best team in the conference. If Arizona and Oregon had played, Arizona would have had a decent shot of winning (2 of their 3 losses were in OT and their 3rd loss was to UW by 7 at home).

You’re just cherry picking odds and ends to suit the comic book narrative.

This was no different than any other college football season in the way injuries and mythical letdowns happen.

Guess we'll agree to disagree. @haie also pointed out how things fell favorably for Oregon in not getting Arizona (along with getting USC and Oregon State at opportune moments).

The USC-Utah-Beav stretch where they were ALL elimination games for them, plus the most greased up Coug Apple Cup of all time was the hardest test any team in this conference faced.

Not to mention they got Arizona and Oregon back to back, and the bye week meant nothing because Oregon got one too.

I will admit this meant a lot because of what Oregon has done

Sure it's fun to talk shit but beating them twice this year is an accomplishment

And it's been a bizarre year for Washington in a lot of ways

They avoided every usual landmine and look like they're ready to compete this time in the playoffs

They are a better team than they were under Cristobal (sorry @creepycoug ) except for against UW which is an oddity quite honestly
