Rank the 2015 schedule in order of difficulty

[TierbsHsotBoobs]

This is a subjective exercise, lets see how it turns out. One thing is for sure, UW is not going 10-2. Thats even more fucktarded than "the smart money was always on Boise."

Stanford will be the toughest game simply because their D will hold UW to 3 or 6 points.

Oregon the past two years was a totally different team with Mariotta hobbled or one or two OL injuries. That was even with great backs. No Mariotta, no 100% play at the most important position on the field. They also lose their 3 best OL. Maybe Johnstone will be okay but don't count on lineman often don't come back to form after major injuries. Its at home and its the 6th game of the season, coming off a bye.

Boise could end up being tougher than ASU yes.

Sark is a fucking douchebag but he will want to do well against UW and it could be a typical Sark game where he beats up on a worse team.

When did Stanford fire Shaw?

You boof, Boobie. Get a new shtick. David Shaw is 42-12 with 3 BCS Bowl appearances in four seasons. Facts are facts, Boobie lips.

Larry Coker thinks David Shaw sucks.

Difficultly and W/L prediction:

@BSU #6 - W
Sac St. #12 - W
Utah St. #11 - W
Cal #9 - W
@ USC #4 - L
Oregon #1 - L
@ Stanford #2 - L
Arizona #5 - L
Utah #8 - W
@ ASU #3 - L
@ OSU #7 - L
WSU #10 - W

TLDR; 6-6 (no bowl), Start off the season appearing strong against shit teams. Guaranteed annual 3 game losing streak in the middle of the year! Limp into the end of the year hoping the players dont give up after getting their shit rocked 3 weeks in a row. The season hinges on @BSU, @ASU, and @OSU, win those and the season doesn't seem so bad.

Hi. The bolded above is impossible now.

The four toughest conference games are coached by Slingblade, the wristband/earpiece maniac, and two slouchy dudes who always look confused as to why their team sucks.

No wonder people say the PAC-12 is a dreckfest.

 

[digits]

1. U0: It could be another 10 years before we beat them. It's mental now... and there's no end in sight.
2. @ ASU: Prove it. They've OWNED us as of late.
3. @ SC: I realize Sark is Sark, and I'd love nothing more than for us to go down there and slam SC, but historically, we play like absolute dog shit @ the Coliseum. I'd venture to say that, playing away, out of any of our PAC12 opponents, our worst away win/loss % is @ the Coliseum. Only reason I don't have them @ 2 is the Sark effect.
4. @ Stanford: There is no home field advantage in Palo Alto, but the Tree have been Steady Eddy since Harbaugh.
5. @ Boise St.: For all the obvious reasons.
6. UA: We've had some bizarre games with them over the years and I think this one will be no different.
7. Cal: Nuffsed.
8. Utah: I don't consider them a PAC12 team yet.
9. Utah St.: I wanted to put them @ 6 because I think they've played solid football the last several years, Chuckie Keeton returns, and USU seems to run a program that's built for sustained success, but they play @ rival Utah the week before coming to Husky Stadium.
10. @ OSU: New program.
11. Wazzu: Mike Leach is a fine football coach and the perfect fit for Wazzu.
12. Sac St.: They have a football program?

This is pretty much how I would rank them. 2-4 could be in any order and are interchangeable.

Hi. The bolded above is impossible now.

I thought there was some rule about Div2 schools not counting or only counting 3/5ths or something for bowl game eligibility?

You can play 1 without penalty.

I bet there will be 5-7 teams making a bowl this year. Cook it.

All of this. With the no team left behind bowl system, every 6-6 team from a power conference finds a bowel somewhere.

Incorrect. Wins over Division 2 schools count 2/5 more than slaves.

There are no Div 2 schools on our schedule.

Div 2 schools are too busy playing Finland in the Gold Medal Game, in Palo Alto.
