ATM isn't good and will lose again. I'm a little worried about what happens if Ohio State beats Michigan in a close game. Alabama, Clemson go undefeated. Ohio State and Michigan with one loss. That's the nightmare scenario.

I didn't think it would matter before tonight, but yeah that concerns me now. Really though, there are four teams ahead of us and each plays at least four more games, three likely will play five. That's around 20 games and all we need is one of them to be a loss and we won't sweat a drop.

This thread is going to look so retarded if we lose a game.

not really. we know this all dependent on if UW wins out and accept that there is at the very least a 30% chance of that not happening

Right, don't win out and it doesn't matter at all.

This changes nothing.. We all knew that a 1 loss Washington wasn't getting into the playoffs. WIN out and we are in. This just helps us. The players Will NOT be overlooking Cal this week after getting bitch slapped in the rankings. I for one will tip my hat and say "Thank you" to the committee. They about to butt fuck Cal then shove a Marshawn Lynch bobble head up the crack for good measure.

Lol they needed OT at home to beat Tenn and UCLA nuff said

And we needed OT to beat a 2-6 Arizona team. Not sure that's the argument you want to make.

A&M getting buttfucked by 19 points against Bama is what should disqualify them, regardless of where they finish the season. Unless the Aggies can win out and Bama somehow loses two games, they don't deserve to even sniff the playoffs.

And you needed a late punt return to beat what will be a 7-5 Utah team as well.

CPOTD!

You'll see,


But Doogs hate facts so I understand the outrage.

You're on the wrong site, fucktard.

There's still a lot of football to be played ... we honestly don't know about a 1 loss Washington because there's a lot of moving parts to that ...

The biggest reason though to question a 1 loss Washington though is that one of its most likely opportunities for a loss is at the Cougs ... if we lose that game the reason we're disqualified is because we won't win the Conference ... not because we have a loss.

the most likely spot for a loss is USC or the Pac-12 title game. The cougs are garbage, and falk will dead by that game. Stadium default if UW loses

I'm not 100% sure I agree ...

There was a part of me that was really worried about how much Cal could score leading into this game before the announcement tonight ... it was possible that we could have come in flat ... doubt that will be the case now ... too many guys on our team love to play with chips on their shoulder ... they've now got their chip.

The SC game is one of the few games left I feel relatively confident about. The stadium is going to be jacked if we're 9-0. We haven't had a noteworthy game there in 6 weeks or thereabouts. Still starting a young QB on the road. He handled the pressure ok at Utah ... but what's the environment at Utah (spoiler alert ... not great). Outside of that, who has USC played on the road since then? Arizona. Everybody else (ASU, Colorado, Cal, and Oregon) will have been at home ... there's nothing to prepare young QBs for being in the fire of road games like being in them. Browning had his fair share of "moments" last year in those situations (beat Oregon St and USC ... lost to Arizona St and Boise). Physically USC is the closest competition in the conference ... and there's also no question that they are talented. Our ability to stop their run game will be paramount as their recent success has been predicated on running all over overmatched teams and then exploiting them in the passing game. They've shown a recent propensity to not respond well when punched in the mouth ... we'll be the first team able to do that against them since September when Stanford and Utah did so ... and both beat them.

I was definitely worried about ASU before the season ... but they are a disaster.

And honestly, the way the Cougs play matches up literally perfectly for what we do ... bring that game on.

USC is the only team with talent even comparable to what we have. That's what scares me. Yeah Helton is a joke and their qb is a freshman but it's also possible guys like Jackson and smoth-schustrr go off.
The Cal game I feel like will either resemble Oregon or Arizona. It's worth noting that kwiatkowski's defense whether it be wsu or Cal has been exceptional since he got here against air raid type offenses. After this today I think it's even more likely UW brings out the plunger, something like 50-20

The really funny part, and some might say ironic, is that one of the reasons you guys were so shitty for the last 15 years, is because you hired a guy that is now on that selection committee. ROFL.

That's the joke.



Besides the one in @backthepack's jeans that is.

SEC faggots. Fuck the committee. Fuck ESPN. Fuck CBS. Why is this possibly funny?

It's funny because Doogs panic over shit that doesn't matter for four more weeks.

True, but ESPN's headline online was, "Washington can thank Mississippi State for the help."

The next headline is Petrino whining about being #7.
