If you go back to before the season, I think the consensus was that the first half was going to be rougher than the back half. That played out. We knew we had youth and that was going give some ups and downs as well. I think we all thought that this was going to be a team that was going to struggle with some consistency problems offensively ... that played out as well.
The encouraging part of what we saw this year was that when this team put all the pieces together, they looked really good. Consistency and turnovers were big time factors in the losses against Cal and Utah. With the exception of the game at Stanford that Browning didn't start, every other game this year UW had a very good chance to win the game in the 4th quarter. There's definitely reason to believe with some overall team improvement plus better execution in tight situations this team could take some massive steps forward.
The crowd that says "so what" and that they need to prove it isn't wrong. The numbers and computer simulations are predictive in their correlations but are far from absolutes.
What I think can be concluded and should be agreed upon is that the potential for a sizable jump next year is definitely realistic. Being guarded and cautious with the expectations is probably reasonable given the 15 year stretch that we've been on. However, to be close minded to the fact that there could be a sizable jump of a magnitude up to a conference championship level is not paying attention to what the numbers and eyes are showing on the field.

7-6 > 7-6 > 7-6 > 7-6, it's simple math guys.
The SRS was high because the schedule was weak as fuck. Oregon and USC sucked this year and the OOC teams were abysmal (still lost to Boise).
Edit - I get that SRS takes strength of schedule into account which is kind of the point here. UW is propped up by a blowout win over a 9 win WSU team who played their backup QB and of course they are still WSU. They had some close losses over other "high SRS" teams like Oregon and Cal, but those teams weren't anything special this year. -
Let me summarize this thread: 10 wins or GTFO NEXT YEAR. It's year 3. Good defense (fuck off SFJ), lots of returning starters, conference sucks balls. If Pete can't get it done next year, then all the SRS in the world won't save his ass.
Again, 10 wins or bonfire his ass on the 50. -
That's my biggest problem with SRS, margin of victory matters way too much.SteveInShelton said:7-6 > 7-6 > 7-6 > 7-6, it's simple math guys.

Anyway, I am in LIPO mode at this point. I do think the team is in a better place today than when Sark left. The defense has improved dramatically, but offense and special teams still need work for the team to be truly competitive. Year three is coming up, typically the tell tale year. Barring key injuries, I really want to see them challenging for for the North Division 2016. Anything less will be a disappointment. -
Massive doog thread right here. Burn it down!

SRS adjusts for the schedule and gives a maximum of 24 points for a win. So it is not propped up 100% by blowing out WSU or Arizona. WSU wasn't even in the top 40. Also ASU and Boise were not even in the top 50 so those losses hurt.
