Washington hasn't won the Pac-12 yet.TTJ said:
Hasn't that already happened?dnc said:The committee picking a 1 loss TAMU over a 1 loss UW wouldn't be indefensible. Picking a 1 loss TAMU over an undefeated UW would be, but that's not going to happen.
If Washington does so with a 13-0 record, it will be in the playoff without a doubt.
The Huskies might also get in by winning the conference with a 12-1 record.

Yes, but you're making a massive assumption that a conference title Trumps all. Yes, it's only been conference champs so far but we're talking about a small two year sample, but we can just as easily poont to the fact that nobody's made the playoff with a loss and as weak of a schedule as UW has this year so far.whuggy said:

Disagree. If UW gets one loss it's not just a hypothetical 1 loss TAMU UW has to beat out, it's a hypothetical 1 loss Michigan and hypothetical 1 loss Louisville and whoever else.whuggy said:Pretty sure the Committee doesn't want to be seen as favoring
one conference over another. Also they are on record as giving great
weight to conference champs. Could easily see Washington and
OSU as one loss conference champs being picked over one loss
A and M without a title. I think there's room for a USC fuckup.
If UW drops a game we're settling for the Rose Bowel.
of the conf. championship discussion doesn't it?
A 1 loss Michigan would be a real threat, especially if that game is close. -

stated that they put great value on conf. champion.
That reads to me as they value a champion more than they
devalue a loss. -

will come their way by including two teams from the same conference. -

Wisconsin, with two really close losses to Michigan and Ohio State, plus a non-conference win against LSU, if it turns around and beats Michigan or OSU in the B12 champ, has a better profile than we do. The committee has 5 B1G teams in the top 12 don't forget. B1G is also playing 9 conference games this year so their end of the year SoS will be pretty strong.whuggy said:
I can't see any way they will take a 2 loss team.whlinder said:Our best odds at making the playoff with 1 loss are probably to lose to Cal and then win out with Colorado in the P12 champ game. Maybe could pull it off with an ASU loss as well but the computers will hurt us more for losing at home.
We'd have a decent case against 1 loss teams that aren't conference champs by being a conference champ but we'd also invite being passed by a 2-loss conference champ with a stronger profile like Wisconsin or Oklahoma if they were to win their conferences.
One loss Washington will have a decent profile
especially with wins over WSU and USC/Colorado.
10-2 Oklahoma, which would be 9-0 in the B12 with losses to Ohio State and Houston... I dunno.
The long term takeaway here is that it is better for a conference to have 35-50% of your teams be really fucking good and have the rest of your conference be absolute fucking dreck than to have 75-90% of your teams be meh. More emphasis is placed on your top end games, even if complemented by complete dreck, than on playing a bunch of middle-tier games.
(not that the P12 is middle tier this year but due to the fact we play 9 conf games the end of year records will reflect a bunch of middle tier teams) -
Now stop and think for a second....if UW loses to WSU, we not only miss the playoffs, but the Rose Bowl as well. 11-1, going to the fuck off bowel. Jesus. I'll kill everything.

Sagarin says that, as or right now, UW has the 14th toughest schedule the rest of the way.dnc said:UW isn't going to get anywhere near the 14th toughest schedule in the country.
The thing that is more aggravating is that apparently getting ass-raped by alabama (which happened to the aggies) is apparently a badge of honor.
Whatever, this is all just conversation and having something to talk about. Just win. That's it. Just win.
