But what do the most advanced analytics insinuate?

Clearly, game over. Why even bother playing this apple cup? With those numbers UW has it in the bag.HeretoBeatmyChest said:From the two advanced stats:

I actually think the Cougs are a good team. But I wonder how much of that is a function of a fortuitous schedule. -
Wouldn't the defense metrics get skewed after WSU scores a bunch of points on a team?
-
Not over the course of 10+ games, no
-
The cougs ARE a good team. They're definitely better than Washington.
Irregardless, Washington wins this game.
