Huh?
I don’t think either loss was damaging long term.
The damage to UW was already set into motion by DeBoer leaving, and half the roster following him out the door.
Oregon’s loss stings, but next year they have a gimmie schedule. It’s set up for Oregon to finish at worst 11-1 in the regular season, which will put them in playoff talks again.
It’s kind of a dumb question. Most damaging I’d say Oregon, but the question is debating a pillow fight to a thumb prick.
Now if Lanning takes an NFL job in the offseason, and Oregon can’t replace him with say Dillingham, then it’s a different conversation. Because I’d argue this game led to Lanning leaving. -

Washington (14-0) losing to Michigan 34-13 in the Natty
Depends on how one defines "damaging". Oregon's loss was far more embarrassing, but Washington was 4 quarters away from a Natty and those opportunities don't come along very often.
Fuck you forever you fat Dutchman for taking your eye of the prize.

Easy write in:
Nebraska hasn’t been relevant since

Good point, but I like to think that our run last year generated future doogs that in turn helps the program with future donators etc…Need another good season next year though.

Neither is damaging. One far more embarrassing. 7 point game at the start of the 4th versus 26 points at the start of the 4th.

easily Oregon Ohio state 2015. Was the end of an era with all of chip’s last group of veterans leaving and I remember leaving that game thinking we were in for a really rough few years as only helf’s guys would be left

The games themselves are basically a wash. That was probably UW’s last realistic chance at NC. If they had won and DeBoer still left we? would have held on to that forever and barely given a shit this year.
Oregon will be back in the playoffs next year and only Washington fans will remember the loss to Ohio State.
Fuck everything.

It's won mostly by whoever pays the most

Multiple coaches have made it there in the last decade with a crap AD fighting NIL the second time. No reason to assume they can't again.

Half the roster followed him to Bama, huh? Bullshit. Four UW players transferred to Bama in 2024… the rest got drafted or left for bags at other programs.
-
Huh?
followed him out the door not out to Bama. Comprehension matters.

I read this as which was more embarrassing and that was an easy choice. I don’t think either are necessarily damaging. It did seem like this was a great year for Oregon which lined up well nationally but I wonder if more and more every year it’s just going to be a pretty even field of 10 teams and whoever has the best portal mercenaries who Pop and put it together in the Playoffs just wins and we’re done with super dominant teams and they’re setup well for that.

You are right, embarrassing would have been a better word for me to have used.

I don’t disagree but it is worth noting that the final four are traditional college football powers, blue bloods. They have the money to compete as well as the cachet to sell to players. Things may not change that much.

We? played Michigan close to even for three quarters IIRC, and then they pulled away.
F moral victories, but I have no doubt that it would have been closer had DeBeer not been in negotiations with the evil SEC.
You knew the _uck game was over y the second quarter.

Some day a #12 seed is going to knock off a #1. That's going to be different. It's been all about 1 or 2 obviously dominant teams for so long that fans have forgotten the days where post season games, not involving said teams, still matter.
I actually like that prospect. I predicted that the 12 team field would eventually just mean more quality, meaningful games for more quality teams. I think that's where it's heading. It's a big improvement over what the bowls had become. At least the best players won't be opting out (until at least well into the first half).

WARSHINGTON got their ass kicked, but people forget it was a 13-20 game with UW driving in the middle of the 4th quarter
Penix to Odunze for 50 yards, DOOG IT UP!
iffy holding on Rosengarten, ball game.
As opposed to Oregon who got beat with a tire iron the entire first half before rallying to make it a respectable 3 score loss.
-
Huh?
UW down 7 in the 3rd/4th with the ball multiple times.
