    8-5
    8-5 with either 4 or 5 conference wins. If we get to 5 conference wins, it will be incremental progress. The bowl loss won't matter, because who really cares about a minor bowl and we're building for next year. 5 conference wins in the toughest football conference named after an ocean is a big milestone for year 3 of a miracle worker. If we only win 4 in conference we can celebrate the milestone bowl win. Either way it will be a throwaway season and next year Jack Brownig will be an upperclassMAN. Woof!

    If they don't get min. 9 wins during the regular season, something(s) really bad happened (injuries to Browning or Gaskin).

    My belief is 10-2. I think they get Stanford on that Friday, then lose to the Zero's in Eugene. The other loss is either at Utah or SC here.

    I, uh... I guess you can't close poles here. So here's an image of the 73 who voted by the first day (though 11 of you are missing since Vanilla only shows 20 avatars for 10-3). Also, avatars will probably change more often than your panties, so this is probably pointless, but whatever.

    15-0 or 1-loss or whatever unrealistic expectations you have
    We got a natty in women's golf and made a FF in women's basketball. So why not win the whole thing in women's football!?!?!?

    Losses: Stanford, @Oregon and one of Utah or SC.

    Stanford does set up nicely tho for you guys tho: short week for trees after playing me, Friday night is prone to upsets, still new QB for Stanford.

    That game is your season. Win that and you'll probably win the Norf.

    I was dialed in last year ... so let's see how it goes this year

    3-0 Non-conference ... please

    W @ Arizona: win by double digits
    W vs Stanford: QB play will be a huge issue for the Tree
    W @ Oregon: they just won't be that good
    W vs Oregon St: they suck
    W @ Utah: will be a close game, don't think that they have the offense
    W @ Cal: Cal's going to be a disaster by the end of the year
    L vs USC: Welcome back to reality game for us
    W vs ASU: Bad weather game where ASU just wants to go home
    W @ Wazzu: Our defense is made for their offense

    W vs PAC South Dreck: South winner will be lucky to be better than 8-4

    L vs Bowl Game: No clue if that's Rose Bowl or National Semi ... but that will be by far the best team we play all year ... PAC is going to be dreck this year

    Will end the year 12-2 primed to go on a very strong run in 2017

    You picked 12-1 the year before. Fuck off.
    I'd rather have the balls to have expectations and stick my neck out by saying what it is that I see versus sitting back, criticizing others, and being a loser that always expects the worst.

    But then again, you get off on saying that people (notably me) are guilty of "moving goal posts" by actually reviewing what happened and comparing what one was expecting versus what happened.

    10-3
    I have to go with 10-3 but if they can at least split between whOregon and Furd, there's potential for 11-2. I see a third loss somewhere between a bowl game, a possible P 12 Championship Game, and just the general loser culture that they're trying to erase but we all know is still lingering, at least a little. They aren't quite elite until they prove it, but it is a good team.

    Peterman needs to go 6-3 in conference this year just to get over .500 in his UW career and to catch back up to Sark.

    How about he gets ahead of Sark before you break out the elite term?

    That's the definition of moving the goalposts.

    You expected 12-1 in 2014.

    When Peterman conclusively disproved your misplaced optimism, you moved the goalposts to match the actual outcome to what you "expected".

    I look forward to your excuses when UW falls miserably short of 12-2, Aubs
    You're right ...

    I said 1) that the QB play was far inferior to my expectations and 2) underestimated the impact of a coaching change to culture

    That's not moving the goalposts, that's admitting the mistakes I made in my assumptions

    So what will you say when the QB play and the coaching are below your expectations in 2016?

    More excuse mongering?

    I predicted 9-4. I don't think we will win the North. I will be happy if we do. It's not that hard to understand. Fuck off.

    "Elite" is the most abused term in college football. Very few teams belong in that category. Objectively, the PAC hasn't had one in over a decade. Pete's fighting Reggie Bushes were the last truly elite PAC team.

    To improve as a team from mediocre to good, the Huskies offense will have to surprise the way the defense did last year, and the defense will have to continue to improve to the point of containing any team they face, dominating those considered competitively on par or lesser. If they do that, they will have shown themselves to be a good team and have a legitimate shot of contending for the North Division. If not, the curse of El Siete lives on.

    Elite??? Make it to the MNC game and knock off a Nick Saban Alabama team or an Urban Meyer Ohio State team, then maybe add that term (and/or lucky) to the conversation.

    Definition of playing both sides ...

    If the record plays to not win the North, you can sit back and say that you were right ...

    If they win the North, you'll doog up the victory, say that you underestimated this or that (moving the goal posts) and when you get called on being too pessimistic before the season just default into the "well, they had to prove it before I believed it" dismissiveness.

    It's not that hard to understand ...
