We could easily be preseason Pac-12 North favorites in 2014

OOC is ridiculously easy. 4-0 should be a lock.
@Hawaii
EWU
Illinois
Georgia State
Plunger x4
Conference home games:
Stanford
ASU
UCLA
OSU
All the difficult games outside of Oregon are at home, and we're pretty damn good at Husky Stadium. Stanford will be wayyy down, ASU loses a ton as well. UCLA could be tough, but good teams win tough games at home so if we are what we should be, we win this one (especially if Hundley leaves). OSU sucks.
Conference road games:
Arizona
Cal
Colorado
Oregon
WSU
Zona should be a competitive game that we win. Cal, Colorado both max plungers. Oregon, if Mariota leaves, should be more than winnable. They're fading fast, and depending on how we're both playing leading up to this game I could see us being 1-2 point favorites going in. The WSU game actually scares me the most here. We could be playing with the North championship on the line, and they're getting better every year. Imagine going into Pullman with 10-11 wins... They'd be more than fired up to knock us off. Only upside is that their student section will be empty for every single Apple Cup in the near future.
It really all comes down to how much we get out of the QB position. I think the defense will be one of the best we've seen in a long time. Only real difference maker we lose is Parker (assuming Shelton doesn't leave), and we've been fairly successful in reloading DBs under Sark. Could be tricky replacing 3 out of 4 starts in the backfield though.

He'll lose at least one home game probably to UCLA.
This team will go 9-4 in the regular season, Doogs will claim progress but once again we'll only be 5-4 in conference.
"Oregon fading fast"? UW hasn't beat the ducks since before my fucking hair went gray. Not gonna win at Autzen. And Sarkingham has yet to win in the state of Arizona.
5-4 in conference.... Same shit different day. Progress! Sorry you can't see it.
Now that we have that settled...
LEAVE!
He has never had a season where he has had a winning record on the road.
Fuck off new Pac-12. So much for tradition.
In 2011 and 2012 he faced Utah/Colorado instead of UCLA/ASU where he is 1-5 against.
This year instead of USC he is again facing Colorado. Changes everything for Sarkingham.
Problem is that it's a fucking illusion.
HTH
In years five and six with the schedule/talent those were the years to seriously contend for a BCS berth.
Instead we'll go 8-5(judging our celebration I doubt we win the bowl game) and 9-5 in those years then drop back to 7-6/6-6 in 2015.
This year should have been a 10-3/11-2 and next year should be a serious shot at the Rose Bowl given the North will be pretty down.
5-4 in conference
Shit bowl win
10-4 special season
bowl gameany game after ASU). Next year, Sark won't have Sankey to bail him out in the 2nd half after calling a brutal 1st half. The schedule might be (somehow) way easier next year but we are still going 5-4 in conference.That's what you expect for Washington?
That's making progress?
Really?
Fuck.
USC
Ohio State
Miami FL

A little different 20 years later
Idaho State Bengals have surpassed the LSU tigres of yesteryear.
This is Warshington football.
