The ranking of one-loss teams.

Whatever, just win the last four games and conference championship. That's all that matters.

But just for the sake of argument (and because I hate tyrone willingham's guts) let's say the Huskies fuck up and lose a game. In the final stretch of this season, UW has the 14th toughest schedule in the country compared to aTm's 40th. UW also has a chance to play for a conference championship. aTm doesn't.

S, why does UW have no margin of error, but other teams can lose a game and still get in? Why is ohio state's 1 loss (to friggin's penn state) any less egregious than if UW were to lose to usc?

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.

Cougs everywhere are already on NTD, BB mode on this.

I'll be surprised if the kewgs go undefeated the rest of the way. Their great and historic come-from-behind victory against mighty oregon state showed how vulnerable they are.

UW isn't going to get anywhere near the 14th toughest schedule in the country.

Sagarin says that, as or right now, UW has the 14th toughest schedule the rest of the way.

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.

8 games * 69th schedule + 5 games * 14th schedule = 14th.

Quality maff.

But tell me you can't see this happening. We have suffered through 15 years of shit, and when we finally put a great season together WSU not only knocks us out of the CFP, but the Rose Bowl as well, with a worse record, and a loss to EWU. I will literally kill everything. You are in Virginia, so just turn on the local news after the game, and wait until they start showing the police chopper footage from Winchester.

Of course I can see it happening. Just because Petersen and Kwiatkowski may be releasing me after 15 years inside Husky prison doesn't mean I can't remember what a pounding my anus took.

Same here.

Gilby, Ty and Sark certainly put the roundins in the poundins.

They can lose one of these three and still win the tiebreaker:

Arizona
Cal
at Colorado

A close loss to USC might not be horribly damaging, presuming the Huskies win the conference championship game.

A loss in the Apple Cup would absolutely tank any shot at the playoff.

Losses in either of the other two games would be somewhere in between, but if the Huskies can't mop the floor with Cal and ASU, I really don't want to see them playing Bama or Clemson.

Some of us have a strong little brother syndrome to USC. Is this what it's like when washington is good? Always thinking they will lose to usc? I have no frame of reference.

Shake it off, red brother.

The fucking Coogers are not going to be the team that trips up our return to glory. They fucking suck, and we're going to knock them down and then go up in them - dry.

Don't let that stop you from going bananas and whacking a bunch of people, though. It's not like they don't have it coming. You'll just be doing it out of joy rather than rage.

We're not going to lose a Pac 12 game. Fuck no.

Where does 1 loss Eastern fit in?

I feel better now. I'm serious. Might go shoot a deer to relieve stress.

I don't think a loss to USC is likely, but objectively a close loss to USC would be the least damaging to UW's playoff hopes.

It's the only game left on the schedule that we? could hypothetically avenge as well. SC getting to the title game is unlikely but possible.

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.
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.

If UW drops a game we're settling for the Rose Bowel.

I'm just glad to be at a point where we are in fucking November and talking earnestly about 'settling for the rose bowl'. After everything husky fans who care about winning have been through over the last 15 years, it's just a great conversation to be able to have.
