@dnc So if UW makes the Playoffs again and get stomped by Bama by 40 points in a semi-final game and USC goes to the Rose Bowl and beats Michigan or somebody with JT Daniels giving Helton two Rose Bowl victories to his name are you going to be happy? Or are you going to think maybe it would have been better for UW to go to the Rose Bowl and have a better chance at winning that game than the Playoff game. You're a fucking idiot if you say you'd still rather take the Playoff game. WE DON'T WANT BAMA YOU DUMBFUCK!
Except you keep framing it as we will win the rose bowel[/b] which is far from any guarantee. See the fiesta bowel last year.
I'd rather our team becomes a fixture in the CFP even if it's as the 4th team in.
Both are uncertain outcomes but one gives you notoriety in and of itself.
NOGAF that the 2009 ducks lost the rose bowel.
How many fucking times do I have to say it? I'm not guaranteeing a Rose Bowl victory but arguing UW's chances of winning that game are much higher than a Playoff game. There's a huge fucking difference between Bama/Ohio State/Georgia recruiting and Penn State, Michigan, Nebraska recruiting. I would say chances of beating Bama in a playoff game are 2% right now. Chances of winning the Rose Bowl against say Michgan, 40% chance.
Getting your ass beat in the playoffs gives you notoriety alright. Notoriety means being famous or well known for a negative reason. UW would gain notoriety nationally for being a college football PRETENDER who can't compete with the big boys.
