Strength of Schedule

I don't think anyone is saying the schedule wasn't difficult. Insane is a bit extreme, though. And perhaps if it didn't sound like just another sorry-ass-lame excuse, which it does, that would help too.
No one respects the excuse makers. Even if there is a ring of truth to the excuse. Just play the damn games.
The other aspect is, even if the schedule is "insanely difficult," how about showing up for the games and giving a damn when you play? UW curled up in the fetal position and quit against Penn State and Iowa, and there was some give-up against Indiana, too. This team is full of too many pussies who give up at the first sign of adversity. Maybe if they played every game like they did last Friday the schedule excuse would mean something. Maybe.

UW is jekyll and hyde right now home versus away.
The easy matchups being at home exacerbates that even more.
Next year's schedule is much more manageable away from home, and it's year two for Fisch.
Results akin to this season will equal tarmac

I predicted 8-4 and didn't see Indiana being this good. No one did. A solid squad sure, but not undefeated

I saw it

got any receipts?
I think people thought they would be much improved, but not top 10

8-5 is still alive!

Also, my point that Oregon struggled as badly as they did against Wisconsin was to point out that they benefited from a soft road slate this year. Good thing they didn't play Idaho at the Kibbie Dome since that was a barn burner in Autzen.
The usual Quooks freaked out about that, and the nega doogs allied with the Quooks.
Only reason UW got brought up at all was to point out 3 of the 5 road games for UW was against top 5 teams with 1 fucking loss. I said Oregon would likely lose at both Penn State and Indiana, maybe even Iowa.
Queue Seaver and DTD getting butthurt.

Now we're talking!
Oregon doesn't want to see Demond's skwaaa after a bye. They just don't.

I think Oregon beats Indiana and Iowa anywhere. The Wisconsin game was like several of UW's "gritty" performances last year. Just win baby. Lanning gets it now.
Not sure Oregon would win at Penn State it it were the same circumstances UW had, though. Coming off the loss to Ohio State, that was going to be tough for any team. Even for an insurance salesmen-led Bammer.

All over the board. I watched them curb stomp Ucla in September
