8-4

[Bob_C]

They didn’t lose to Wisconsin is the only real difference.

I think UW would beat USC because Lincoln Riley as as big a fraud as Fisch. USC lost to Illinois. That's almost as dumb as losing to Wisconsin.
But at least they beat Iowa.

This is how going 8-4 is a good thing.

Why losing to Wisconsin was actually good.

Why losing to Wisconsin was actually good.

Why a playoff making football season is bad for the program is unironically a title i wouldn't be surprised at.

Some on this board were saying it would be better to win the Holiday Bowl than make the playoffs and lose round one.

 

[TheHB]

Does that hold true for the LA Bowl?

There is a cavernous gap between the top of the Big Ten and where UW is.
Still, with the downy soft schedule, 9-3 was the absolute worst this team should have finished.
Underachievers. The worst kind of team.

I looked at the B1G standings this morning. UW is at best in the 3rd tier of B1G teams this year:
Tier 1:
tOSU, Indiana, Oregon
Tier 2:
Michigan, USC
Tier 3:
Iowa might be alone here but I’ll be a homer and put UW & Illinois here.
ATBS, we’re stuck with Fishsticks another year. Let’s hope he does well enough that an NFL team pulls a Saint Haden on us and offers us salvation.

USC is not better than Washington.
They just had a much easier schedule.

Much easier schedule?
Both teams played Illinois, Michigan and Oregon. We got tOSU, they got the Irish and they played Iowa.
At best it’s the roughly the same . What’s different is they went 9-3.

Getting Michigan and Illinois swapped is much easier.
Notre Dame is an OOC game and not a conference game.
USC had a genuinely easier conference schedule.
WWARSHINGTON also had every other opponent with a fucking bye week ahead of the game.

We would have been curbed stomped at Notre Dame.

USC and Washington are teams that will will beat average and bad teams at home, lose to any team with a pulse on the road, and lose to any good team anywhere. Whoever was at home would win the game between them. Who gives a fuck.

Nothing like arguing over who deserves 7th place more

Poont was UW in rebuild year 2 is the same as USC year 4
We would all fire O'Reilly

 

[Canadawg]

USC has not beat Washington since Darnold was here in 2016
Maybe not relevant to this year but kind of funny

Some on this board were saying it would be better to win the Holiday Bowl than make the playoffs and lose round one.

I said that, except that it wasn't that we would simply "lose round one"… It was with the belief that winning the Holiday Bowl would help build for the future better than losing the first round 42-3 to Georgia, Alabama, etc.

And Fisch
Riley is irrelevant

Indiana got blasted in the first round last year.

… and as much as I love the Indiana story, I'm not super convinced they won't get blasted by the Buckeyes on Saturday.
I'm fascinated to watch that…and also delighted to not have to watch the Duck ego hype train out there on the screen.

Perhaps. But the point is that they did okay the year after getting blown out in round one the year before. No one remembers the early outcomes, but you get credibility with the alumni and recruits that you made the playoffs.
No one cares that you beat some team on a December Wednesday night without 20 of its players.
