That sounds doogy but it really shouldn't come as a surprise if UW is aggressive and has a plan for the roster. It's all about tampering and $$. The speed that they moved with to grab Fisch, the money they threw at him, and the money they were offering Deboer are all signs that this isn't the 2003-2022 UW anymore when it comes to football.
I'm not saying it's all going to be great so don't twist. I'm just saying UW might be serious about football and that assuming the worst isn't always going to be correct anymore.

@PostGameOrangeSlices and I have been saying 8-4 Is the floor since day one

Are conferences playing more conference games?

Good point, running the table in the SEC for example only got easier by adding oklahoma/Texas.

I think there will be 1 or 2 more losable games on the schedule annually for teams at the top of their conferences. We just took the 3 programs at the top of the PAC and the 2 programs at the top of the B12 and stuck them in the B1G and SEC. Neither conference added dreck so the percentage of good teams in each one went up. That just forces more tuff games between contenders.
the question will be whether 9-3 in the SEC or B1G can be ranked ahead of 10-2 in the ACC/B12. Loss sorting was always the default before with ties broken by other criteria but now the differences will be significant.

You're assuming teams won't start scheduling cupcakes ooc if all they have to do is go 7-2 in conference (6-2 in SEC) to make playoffs.

Most of them already do though. Sure there are a few decent OOC games but 10-2 in either conference is making the playoff unless they have complete cupcakes OOC and also a super easy conference schedule due to scheduling rotations, and even then I would be surprised.
