The Huskies are in the playoff race

All these fucking hypotheticals about keeping paying Jedd big bucks now are fucking aids.
I don't give a fuck if UCLA has an opening (plus sunshine) or if Florida has an opening (plus sunshine). You don't bet the future of the program on 6-2 with no 10 ft birdie putts made, Jedd.
There's a huge delta between his worth to the program between 8-4 and 10-2 and both are still very much on the table.
LIPO.

Here's the positioning I feel like Judd has based on the most realistic outcomes this month.
8-4 (lose to Oregon, probably UCLA, maybe Wiscy) - Doesn't deserve a raise/extension from UW. Might try to position the UCLA job to get one. Not sure what to do there. UCLA would still take him, probably.
9-3 (lose to Oregon) - Doesn't deserve a raise/extension, but agent can probably weasel UW into one. UCLA would take him.
10-2 - UW has to buck up. Would think Florida and any of the jobs open right now not called LSU could offer him.
I'd take a road playoff game, especially with the possibility you can get some paper tiger like a Big 12 team. I personally watched WSU basically play Ole Miss even in Oxford. Outside of Ohio State, Indiana, and possibly Bama, I'm not really scared of any of the teams around there, especially if UW can show they can beat Oregon.

This will be an unpopular take…
But I would almost prefer to see Washington knock off Miami or Tennessee in the Holiday Bowl (or whatever) to finish the season on a positive note and with double digit wins, than getting thrashed 41-10 by Georgia or Ole Miss in the first round of the playoffs. (And that is based on UW winning out the regular season, of course).
If I felt this team had a puncher's chance to go deep in the playoffs, I would see things differently of course.

What an unpopular take

Make the playoffs. Have a punchers chance.
That would be great experience for Demond as a sophomore.
Lot of work to be done. Win
-
Demond being sacked 14 times by Georgia would not be a great experience for him.
But yes, lots of work to be done… and games to win
-
As an old school person myself, I get the appeal, but I think in this era "making the playoff" is a feather you want in your cap (if you can get it). -
But is it old school? The Milwaukee Brewers made the National League Championship Series for the first time in like 42 years and got swept 4 games to 0. They will be remembered as losers.

(Technically they were in the ALCS in 1983)

I don’t think there's enough runway left for UW to make the playoffs.
The CFP rankings place UW too far back with too many other 2 loss teams ranked ahead.
Keep in mind that UW needs to finish in the top 10 to make the playoff. Not only does a G6 team take a spot, but it's very likely an ACC champ will finish outside the top 10. The highest ACC team is Virginia at #14. They suck, as do GT, Miami, and Louisville.
How can a 10-2 Washington make the CFP with only 1 decent opponent left on the schedule? I don't see it.
I think it more likely the B1G is only getting 2 teams this year.
