    you guys really know how to set yourself up for disappointment

    Notice I've got a lot of hedges in my statement. I believe in probability and statistics. I'd say there's easily a 2 game variance possible(and that's without major occurrences like injuries etc.) built into the range. 8-4 to 12-0 possible(though less likely, very few teams go undefeated) as well as 9-3 or 11-1 which I think are much more likely outcomes. I think if UW played this schedule 100 times the curve would come to rest right in that 10-2 or maybe 9-3 as the mode with a negative skew.

    That's at least how I would view our talent translating to probabilities of wins compared to the rest of the dreck we are playing. I expect Auburn to be a loss but most of the rest of the PAC looks like another year of dogshit. If we can't beat BYU and ND state then something is seriously wrong.


    chinned becausse it looks impressive - didn't understand shit but looks very impressive

    Depending on the year BYU is a non cupcake but unfortunately for us they are in cupcake mode right now

    @creepycoug remembers when the Canes opened the season in the Wasatch range and got beat when the Canes were the Canes

    Is Oregon supposed to be good? Their idiotic fans are claiming an offseason natty, but I just don't see them as anything above 7-5 with Cristobal and the talent has dropped off from what it was from 2007-2014. There's no way I'd put them above fifth or sixth. Herbert never screamed anything beyond honorable mention All-Pack 12...no idea why he has so much hype...

    I don't partake in these types of things in the winter before signing day...way too many variables...
