Things you already knew about UW's 2024 schedule and performance
Went 0-4 (all on the road) against the top third of the B1G. Allowing a nearly 100 point point differential.
Went 1-0 (all at home) against the bottom third of the B1G.
Went 3-1 against the middle third (4-2 if you count the spring game) against the middle third of B1G.
Sure, the schedule was not friendly but losing to (WSU and) Rutgers is what made this team mediocre/average.
Using espn standings which had UCLA ahead of Nebraska but still. . . . . . .

It was not a tough schedule.

8-4 minimum you could sell the It's Hard transition etc and etc
6-6 is simply a system failure and a red flag but we have no choice but to let it play out so don't' say let it play out because it is going to play out whether we let it or not

It was reasonably tough, in hindsight. Not easy, but also not K2.
Could have been worse if all the teams UW beat were better or UW was worse. Could have been better if all the teams UW lost to were worse or UW was better.
This was a 4 to 8 win ballteam that won 6 games.
Next year is the barometer.

That statement could not be more untrue. Be better. JFC.
You can agrue strength of schedule a million ways but playing at 4 of the top six teams in the B1G and only against one of the bottom six teams is, BY FUCKING DEFINITION, TOUGH.

Race Bannon said:
etc, etc, etc. (fuck vanilla, rusty conical cheese grater).
Agreed. There was a vast difference between the best and worst teams on the schedule. 8-4 (after the fact) is minimal expectation for 2024.
That is why 10-2 is minimal acceptable expectation for 2025. A two game improvement over what he should have done in 2024.
Jedd doesn't get both mulligans for two years.
Everything beyond tOSU and 0regon (both at home) is winnable.
Time to fucking Fisch or fucking cut bait.

Penalties vastly decreased as the season went on, including in road games. Redzone sucking seemed largely due to Rogers lack of a running threat.
Spend some $ in the trenches and develop these young guys. Demond with the keys and a competent line should be yuge.
Allegedly. -
The middle third of the B1G is also the bottom. That’s why your calculations are off.

Ohio State, Oregon, @Michigan, and @Wisconsin are likely games where UW won't be favored.
I see 8-4 since UW will probably win one of those games (maybe Wisconsin) but drop a game they should have won (@ UCLA or @Maryland).
But if UW gets a top DT and a top OL in the portal along with a pretty good LB, then maybe 9-3.
The helpful thing is that depth will be better at nearly every position with the staff having a full portal season and solid 2023 and 2024 recruiting classes in terms of talent and numbers.

I was wrong on Coog, Rutgers, Iowa, Michigan, Indiana, USC
I thought they would be 7-1 going into the final homestretch going…. Possibly losing the final four.
