quick analysis by the objective Jon Wilner (Merc News) about each Pac 12 team's non-conf schedule next year.

the interesting part (to me, anyway) is the handful of comments. It's a Bay Area publication and most of the comments are from embarrassed Husky fans who feel our? non-conf schedule is a joke to the tradition of Husky football. Pool Boy's legacy and Sark's demands to play the easiest schedule possible. Fuck those guys.

    I could really care less about OOC games

    Win the Pac 12 and your OOC games and you're in the playoff. Stanford beats Northwestern they would have been in I think.

    The only benefit to playing difficult OOC games is for the season ticket holders so we don't think we are being completely raped.

    Don James said that it was important to play at least one tough OOC opponent to prepare his team for the conference season.

    On the flip side - it's really FS to play two OOC road games against teams like BYU and A&M.

    Play one TUFF OOC, and then dreck. That's the formula.

    You must be knew. Everyone knows that the formula is push up the middle and heat from the edge.

    Don James believed in an ABC schedule. This is a CFF schedule
