    Oregon & ASU are the top two candidates.

    Stanford has a dearth of skill position talent and thats after last season in which they had numerous close games. Those TEs are going to be big losses. Their D will keep them in every game though.

    UCLA had a mediocre D last year and loses Franklin and Fauria, their two best skill guys who scored most of their TDs. Keep in mind their OL in terms of sacks was even worse than UWs and they had a mobile QB. UCLA also has the weakest home-field in the conference.

    Stanford will probably be better on offense this year because Hogan has the QB job full time now.

    UCLA does have a weak home field advantage, but UW is so, so bad on the road...

    Exactly how many points does UW need to lose by for it to be a plunger rape? 21+? 30+?

    Stanford loses its top 4 receivers from last season, the 2 TE's, Taylor and one WR. Not sure they'll be able to stretch the field and DC's now have more film on Hogan. Defenses will be able to load the box against them.

    UW was bad on the road in 2011 bc of a bad defense and 2012 bc of a bad OL. Now the chief problem will be stopping fast offenses- like UO and ASU which is why they are the two most likely blowouts. UCLA was not good at home in conference last year, losing to OSU, losing to Stanford by double digits and beating Utah by only 7. Plus they lose Franklin and Fauria from their offense which was why they won 9 games.

    Stanford and UCLA have good coaches. They will find new guys to step up.

    Somewhat disagree. 20+ is an automatic plunger rape. If the opposing team is up by 20 or more points in the 4th quarter and the Huskie team rallies to a relatively easy 34-17 loss, it can still be a plunger rape if the opposing team had their backups in and/or (life of abundance) the final TD is in the last few minutes and no one gives a shit because the outcome was already known.

    Someone alert the fags on this site that there is actual football discussion going on. Maybe they will stop whining for about 5 minutes if they read it.

    Is it wrong to mention Boise State as a plunger game?

    THIS. And wouldn't it just set the tone for another 7 and 6 bonanza.
    Very well could come to fruition.
