UW is #17:
Oregon probably would have won against the Indiana backup. With the starter in, who knows.
Indiana finally had a gritty win of their own against Michigan recently. Will be interesting to see how they do against Ohio State.
I will concede that Penn State would have been a nightmare of a game in the "whiteout"
But Oregon is beating Indiana with their backup QB, and Iowa isn't recent years Iowa. That defense isn't nearly as nasty as they've been. Offense is better for sure, but Oregon isn't losing that game. Another thing to consider is that being the #1 team, Oregon is going to be getting every opponent's best shot on the road. It's cliche' but it's true. That Wisconsin game, was Wisconsin's super bowl, and Oregon played flat as hell. However, Oregon is losing that game in any other prior year. This team is different from past Oregon teams, as they can win ugly.
This is such a dumb thread. We're in the B10 it's going to have good teams? Indiana is the only outlier and that's just going to happen in CFB. Next year will have a suprise good team as well
So there is a diff. between a one loss team and a two loss team but not an undefeated team and a one loss team.
You are perhaps the dumbest fucker mother to ever exist. Cuntfuckinggratulations.
My gawd is this still going? UW didn't get an easy schedule, but it also isn't a nightmare. The travel of UW mileage versus opponents' mileage and in comparison to the other schools someone else did is shit an AD needs to go to the mat about but did we even have one or was it one already ADing for USC or Nebraska at that time? Your longest road trip is on a Friday not coming off a bye week?
UW is in a massive glut of mediocre Big 10 teams who all likely beat each other at home and lose to each other on the road. UW is still a dog at home to the upper Big 10 teams this year (Ohio State, Penn State, Oregon. We'll see what Indiana is after Saturday. They still might be a middling team that got the cherriest schedule ever.
I was worried about Oregon's schedule going into the season that if they could beat Ohio State at home that was all they had to do. I still thought they'd lose at Michigan and at Wisconsin (Wiscy coming off a bye at home in mid-November seemed like a schedule loss) but Michigan ended up being a joke without a portal QB and Wisconsin lost their QB early. I'll credit Oregon is also better than I thought they would be - the portal moves have all played out really well. They still in no way seem like a team that should have an undefeated regular season and I think the schedule helped with that.
With the ranking in the original link it's true that good teams also get screwed in those rankings because they can't play themselves.
Too long, didn't read I know but the better question is imagine having USC's fucking schedule and being 5-5?
Lots of people discounting road conference games against 3 top 5 teams.
Tuff task for any team, quite honestly, let alone the rebuilding DAWG skwa.
Lanning still checks under his bed for Harold the Husky furry suit. Should he have gone for those 4th downs? The clock strikes midnight, and a shiver runs down his spine.
If the DAWGS keep it close, a tense Lanning will have his iq drop 50 points.
Oregon 48, Wash Ton 17
Wuff
You never have to apologize for coping.
Youre right I forgot Oregon played road games against 3 ranked teams.
Buncha Orygun dick sucking round here
My biggest problems, and I think a good amount of the bored probably agrees:
Getting destroyed by St. Penn, Iowa, and Indiana
losing to SUNJ and Coug
Split those two and 7-4 isn't all that bad, but isn't great either
it's not an easy schedule but I can think of several years when it's been tougher. Indiana was a fluke and they'll come back down to earth soon.
I'm not big into crying over spilled milk AKA the Dutch guy left us. If we had done this offer this way at this time…nope, he was probably leaving, but if the IU coach can make them 10-0, there's no excuse to be 0-4 or whatever in road and games six miles from campus which are "neutral"
Hey, now; watch it. I knew you back when you were just simple ruffian selling blow in the U-district. We go way back. Not worth risking a long-term relationship over.
I always put a little less vitamin b12 in your baggies of fisch scale, amigo.
Make sense?
DAWG sense!
If only there was a board for that.
Huh?
We lost at Rutgers and Seahawks Stadium. INSANE.
I know this is tough for you, so I'll spell it out.
Conference road games at the #1, #4, and #5 teams in the country that are a combined 29-1 is what makes it an insane schedule.
Christ.
That's three very tough games.
Three very tough games does not make an insane schedule. I know this is tough for you.
When @ a decent Iowa squad is your 4th easiest conference road game of the year, you have a pretty insane conference schedule. A legitimately good team could easily lose 3 of the 5 conference road games.
Duck, Buckeye, Lion, Wolverine fans would be bitching about the conference and calling it rigged if they had an equivalent road gauntlet.
Like I said, name a team in America besides Georgia that has a more difficult conference schedule.
Too tough for Fisch
Team is young
Need more money
Need a better schedule
More tim required
Can't expect to win. Can pay to play
Let me know when you track down the doog saying those things, el oh el. I'm sure you can find them at doogienights.com
The road schedule in hindsight was pretty ridiculous for these precocious pups. Nothing was easy, and not just because they're mediocre. That road schedule was savage.
Those pups also choked on their own vomit against Rutgers and Cuog in games they should have won. 8-3 would strike an in-tune note right now, but they fucked it up at the goal line a few times and should have been better at football a couple other times.
What even is the argument? Everyone is right.
We still have one road game left. LFG.
If Oregon were 0-11 their SOS would be great!
your best road opponent would move to 6-4 instead of 5-5 in that scenario.
a TUFF wisconsin skwa!! that lost to…rutgers.
the DAWGS weakest away game beat your strongest.
make sense?
How far will Oregon's SOS shoot up after Demond Williams crawls in their ass, you think?
You want it both ways. UW WOULD have beaten all the teams they beat at home, on the road, right? Maybe the reason they beat them at all was because those games were at home. And our circlular argument starts all over.
that is very true. UW might have lost those games on the road.
That isn't what we are talking about. We are talking about Oregon's lack of a road test this entire season.
Wisconsin was a road test
As is Michigan
If we flipped all the road games and home games in my most recent model, we're looking at UW w/ 7.2 (rounding) wins. PGOS may have a case.
Those aren't easy place to play but the teams themselves don't have a winning record…
