Assuming a victory, the story Arc negates some of the sting of the losses.EwaDawg said:at best. Three fucking losses, man. To mediocre teams.
This has been a miserable season because of crushed expectations, however we beat tOSU it will culminate to an incredible tantric explosion.

Bronze Medal (3rd place for those of you who don't know your alloys)This will be sacrilege to many, but I think if we win this game, this is our 3rd greatest season of the past 41 years. Yes, we have 3 losses, but keep in mind we've only had 3 one loss or less seasons (inc bowl game outcomes) in the past 41 years- i.e., '84, '91 and '00. Once you get into 2 to 3 loss seasons it's the waters start to get muddied.
'91 and '84 are the clear #1 and #2. But if you start to break down the other possibilities for 3rd place- i.e., '90, '00, '16 - etc, I think an argument can be made that a shitty Rose Bowl win over Urbs and a final ranking of #5 or #6 besting those seasons.
1991 - Only 2 losses but one was to a shitty UCLA at home which is better than our loss to Cal this year. Yeah we smoked an 8-3 Iowa - so what?
2000 - Beating Miami will always be one of our greatest non con wins, but we got them at home at the right time. They would have smoked us in a Bowl game rematch by 14 pts or more that year. I think beating Ohio State in the Rose Bowl would easily rival that Miami win and signal that we are back nationally and not just in the Pac.
2016 -Only 1 regular season loss, but that was a very manageable schedule and the offense was dwag shit in big games (i.e., USC and Bamma) just like this year. Beating Ohio St in the Rose Bowl >>> than losing the Bama in the CFP.
At any rate, that's my two cents. I've got Rose Bowl fever every waking hour of the day and it's all I can think about right now. -

6th placeI have no reading comprehension so did not see the 41 year limit. I suck at that kind of stuff. As a little whipper my folks demanded absolute quiet for the 60 and 61 RB wins - James' first RB was also great, the triple up at the end of James' career and Newweasel's RB.
Beating theOhioState would be impressive as hell - and move up the list fer sure -

Preseason rank: 13 versus 6
Final rank: 3 versus 6 or 7
12-1 versus hypothetical 11-3
Best win: Miami (finished #2) versus tOSU (would finish around #10)
Second best win: A ranked Oregon State (finished #4) versus WSU (at best two losses and ranked around 11 at best)
Third best win: Purdue (13) versus Utah (twice, final rank around 16ish?)
Loss(es): at #7 Oregon versus semi road at Auburn, at Oregon, at Cal (all currently I ranked and voteless save Oregon who has one songle vote and is tied for 33rd...with Troy)
This isn’t even a contest. Throw in the fun of watching Tui and the “we’re back” peak of the RN era and 2000 was just significantly better, even with a less illustrious Rose Bowel victim.
Seriously 2000 gave two BCS bowel victors and final ranked top 4 teams their only loss. 2018 won’t do anything as impressive as either of those. And 2000 has two less losses!
I can’t belive I’m even arguing about this. -

No idea. But IMO I’ll say this.. can’t beat a NC...so that’s first.
Where this one “hypothetically” May be ranked beating another conference champion in tOSU who has that prestige and blue blood ora, when the chips are down??? I would say it’s way up there..
Would be great respeck from across the cuntry, even if the PAC goes Owen in bowel season if UW wins.
In other words, it’s Big..

16 ended in a loss. Would be behind this year if we beat OSU. (If we beat bama but lost in NC, then 16 would be legit. Probably over 90 and 00.)HillsboroDuck said:I need to change my vote to 6th place

2016 - Great season but the offense still shrivel dicked against good defenses. I’m not convinced that team would have beat a middling (albeit talented) SEC team on the road. A hypothetical win over Urbs and a top 6 tOSU would better any quality win than that team had.
2000- I think I’m hindsight biased against this team being a one hit wonder anomaly. Again the Miami win was phenomenal but the stars were aligned perfectly. We don’t get those types of opportunities much anymore with the OOC schedule so we don’t know what 2016, 17, or 18 could have done at home against a good Power 5. The recent teams also have a Husky Stadium that is not the intimidating venue it once was. The 2018 defense is elite. 2000 not so much. Man, what Tui could have done with the current defense and MMFG.
Again, a loss in this Shitty Rose Bowl means this team is like 7th or 8th place. Alls I’m saying is a win here would completely transform how we remember this team. It would give us instant national credibility. -

I don’t understand your “2000” was a one hit wonder argument when a. You’re putting so much stock in a win over tOSU overcoming an otherwise meh season by conference champion standards b. 2000s second best win kicks the shit out of 2018s and c. 2000s third best win kicks the shit out of 2018s third best win (and maybe it’s second).
Your argument is based on awful reasoning.
2000 >>>>>>> 2018, even with the hypothetical RB win. It’s not close. -
