Ranking Conference Games in 2016

I agree with you Chest that USC and Stanford will be better than Oregon next year, but I would put better odds of UW beating either USC or Stanford at home next year than winning at Oregon.

UW has always matched up well with Stanford and USC, as they've found ways to keep games close or eek out wins against them. Oregon (minus this year) on the other hand, has dominated every game they've played for over a decade. This streak has seen Oregon dominance through 6 different starting quarterbacks (Clemens, Dixon, Masoli, Thomas, Mariota, and Adams).

Of course the streak will end at some point, but I don't see it next year. Oregon has shown me that at least at the QB position, they'll do everything possible to have a competent option. Whether it's through recruiting or through free agency. Washington has also not played well at Autzen since their last win in 2002. While on the other hand, until this year they were never really that close to winning at home against the Ducks, they were at least a little more respectable.

I think the streak is in serious danger in 2017, but at least next year, I think this is the least likely of all conference games that they'll win.
