Jon Wilner hates Washington...

Wilner has been more down on UW than any other AP voter all year. Doubling down in a vain hope for redemption now.
-
Hatters gonna hat bro.
-
Wilner was a Sark dick sucker but is somehow down on UW with a serious adult head coach
Cant wait to hear his back pedaling after we win by 3 tds -
Might as well not even play the game then.
-
This is unlike any game these Huskies have played, ever: Major stakes, on the road, against a top-tier opponent that won’t beat itself.
footnote 1: gif was tagged "#eh" oh giphy so i went with it, sue me.
footnote 2: was gonna go with the larry david "eh" gif but recently went with it.
footnote 3: all joking aside, what the fuck wilner? a troy williams, injury riddled team with an RB that already quit on them is "a top tier opponent," maybe in today's pac-12 but come on. -
Wilner's logic is that he penalizes UW for poor scheduling and close wins and at the same time he rewards other teams for the exact issues. He moved Texas from unranked to #2 when they beat Notre Dame in week 1...Wilner, Jude, etc have no fucking business ranking teams they don't watch.

Close wins? 6/7 of our games were over in the first quarter lol.Meek said:Wilner's logic is that he penalizes UW for poor scheduling and close wins and at the same time he rewards other teams for the exact issues.

Didn't we beat a classy Nebraska team in Nebraska in '91?rodmansrage said:This is unlike any game these Huskies have played, ever: Major stakes, on the road, against a top-tier opponent that won’t beat itself.

The part that makes me laugh is that each game is "Now Washington will face a real challenge" and then we curb stomp them and it becomes, "Their schedule is weak".

"Season: 25-24-4"
lo fucking l. your job is to follow pac 12 football, and you are .500 in your predictions? get this guy to vegas! -
we? sure did and they were classy af but when arent they?DeepSeaZ said:

cant remember who their qb was but im 81% sure he (or she) is still better than troy williams. -
Utah is not a "top tier opponent."
the only top tier opponent UW will be facing is maybe USC, which will thankfully be at home.
Also what reasoning did he provide other than UW's "soft schedule."
Who the fuck has Utah played? BYU who SUCKS and they barely beat while turning it over a gazillion times? Oregon State who UW clownstomped and Utah almost lost to?
Cal who's terrible and Utah lost to.
UCLA is a dumpster fire
USC is the only good one, and they sucked up to that point. again impressive win but I have a feeling the USC team we see in November will be a lot better than the one Utah saw. I hope not, but I have that feeling.
His logic sucks -
Is that straight up or against the spread?doogville said:"Season: 25-24-4"
lo fucking l. your job is to follow pac 12 football, and you are .500 in your predictions? get this guy to vegas! -
with 4 ties it's against the spread. not good but not terrible
-
Good point on the ties. Anything over 55% ATS in a single season is very impressive. And as the size of the sample goes up, what qualifies as good moves closer to 50%. So I agree, that is not great, but it ain't bad either.dhdawg said:with 4 ties it's against the spread. not good but not terrible
With that said, Wilner still fellates goats. -
that's my point. Wilner totally hammers Washington for one close win on the road at Arizona but doesn't punish Clemson for close wins at home against shitty Troy (Clemson won 30-24) and shitty NC State in Overtime (Clemson 24-NC State 17). He doesn't even watch the games.backthepack said:

I took a shit today, wiped my Wilner like 47 times, and now it's all chafed and itchy.

Wilner says Cal is a 16 point FAVORITE vs USC.alumni94 said:
He is an ABSOLUTE FUCKING IDIOT. How do you print that without even thinking twice (yes, I know the fuckstick doesn't think once).

He's only doing it for them clicks.
The man knows Husky fans too well. -
Wilner is just one of many idiots voting in the AP poll. The fact that people take it as seriously as they do is a joke… but its for lack of a better alternative because its needed purely to be able to market early season games as being important to watch and care about (Notre Dame vs. Texas is a prime example). Here’s the problem’s:
1. September rankings bullshit (hi @TierbsHsotBoobs ) holds an anchor to the rankings very deep into the season, regardless of what we see happen in the season. Especially when a team like UW has a huge win over Stanford when the tree was ranked #7, which bumped us into the top 5… when eventually it becomes clear that the tree isn’t that good. Another example is Ole Miss being ranked at 3-3 last week.
2. Most of these voters are reporters for specific teams and don’t have time to watch many other games and accurately judge other teams outside of box scores and what others say
3. Reporters are inherently biased to write shit that will get them more page views (aka ad revenue). There is a 0% chance that Scott Wolf still actually thinks Michigan is the best team in the country right now over Bama… because you have to be autistic or Pumpy (or abundance) to think that… but he’s going to rank them #1 every week just in case Bama loses so he can say “I TOLD YOU SO!!!!” Same thing happens on smaller scales everywhere, like Jood ranking the Cuog and SDSU ahead of UW preseason.
The CFB playoff rankings are done mostly right. A small committee of experts who can debate things after 9 weeks in the season have passed, with no revealed vote totals. If only the committee had a few remembers replaced *cough* TY *cough* it would be perfect.

Wilner is a well known contrarian reject fuckshow.

Washington is 4th playing the same kind of schedule as Nebraska or West Virginia who are fighting to be top10 and are behind 1 loss teams.
UW is getting plenty of respect. The off season natty paid off -
Nebraska and West Virginia aren't curb stomping people like UW is though. The ranking is based on record and performance...and yeah the offseason natty probably didn't hurt.RaceBannon said:Washington is 4th playing the same kind of schedule as Nebraska or West Virginia who are fighting to be top10 and are behind 1 loss teams.

Sort of. Nebraska for example was lucky to beat an Oregon team that we curbstomped. But yeah its making a differenceRaceBannon said:Washington is 4th playing the same kind of schedule as Nebraska or West Virginia who are fighting to be top10 and are behind 1 loss teams.

Good poont. I was sleepwalking through this page and somehow "Cal" "16" "FAVORITE" "USC" sounded my internal alarm and re-read that. Took me 2 seconds for my fucking passive brain to alert me that in no parallel universe would that make any sense, and Cal is STILL ranked too high.EwaDawg said:

They could play the game on the North Pole (lol) with SC only allowed to dress 30 guys and Cal still wouldn't be favored by 16. -
The committee must be pretty downtrodden.GrundleStiltzkin said:
