To add fuel to the fire of the David Shaw controversy - if he never gets a play off berth does it hurt his standing despite numerous North Division and Pac 12 titles?
I have him number 1 in the league after our? debacle there last year. Its not Harbaugh its Shaw.
But he does seem to lose the little one just enough to not make the 4 -
He's a very good coach. He's not a great coach.
We are going to beat them by 20 this year. -

Holy shit, 6 out of 7 have us in the playoffs.
These national guys are more optimistic about UW this year than we? are.
I think it boils down to fourth year starting senior QB. People put that with the quality on the rest of the roster and the sidelines and think great team.
Most of the time that's what it means. I wish I could believe it in this team's case.
Prove me wrong Jake. -
The national hype train is off the rails right now. I listened to Stewie and Bruce Feldman's Pod last night, The Audible, and they both picked UW over Auburn. Basic logic is that Auburn has tended to struggle early in the season in these types of games and the belief that it's year 5 of Pete and this is the most talented roster he's had to date at UW (or BSU).dnc said:Holy shit, 6 out of 7 have us in the playoffs.

I'm just not "feeling" it re: getting into the CFP. I think we are the smart pick to win the Pac, but I still have way too much 2017 ASU, Stanford PTSD to be all in on 2018. Beat Auburn and all my chips are in. -
Agreed, beat Auburn and it would be a disappointment to not make the playoff.YellowSnow said:

I just don't think we beat Auburn. -
Dont have to beat Auburn to make playoff. Have to beat Oregon. Wont beat Utah I fear

Ass always, the factors national media are using for picks are just surface level stuff: 4 year starter QB, X number of other returning starters, other basic math shit.dnc said:

Things that give me the scantest hope:
- Rewatching older games and seeing what Petersmens got out of some really low level talent. The '14 and '15 rosters compared to now is amazing.
- Limping through the back half of 2017 with a silly amount of injuries
- Hamden
- The Tani Tupuo factor (pleeeeease)
- I have no basis for this aside from just watching, but something was off, like morale or locker room shit, with the team starting from ASU onwards. Maybe before. I've PM'ed with another poaster who feels the same way, so that's scientific. Gut is that the team was mentally tough enough to handle the injuries. I guess this one could cut both ways. -
Shane Bowman is not Tani, nor is JJ or Scrempos. 2deep DL is horrific. Pleeeeease get that thru that little blue bonnet of yours
