Petersen was over valued after the 2016 run. DeBoer was undervalued after Lake

We likely won't be rematched against cuog in a bowl since those bowls match a Pac-12 team with another conference, meaning that either UW or cuog would take up one of the slots but not both.
For example, the Alamo Bowl is still Pac-12 vs. Big 12, but they likely won't pick any of the 4 corner schools.
For some reason went down a Petersen rabbit hole last night. My god they underachieved 2017-19 with a cherry schedule. I don't think those teams were natty caliber but they should have basically been able to be Oklahoma, coming out of a second rate conference and at least getting a participation trophy.
I also feel like bowls like to avoid rematches and they have a million times more freedom than what they used to so they can easily avoid them. An Apple Cup rematch in a different state would be pretty hilarious though and an interesting and appealing game for a bowl.
Which got me thinking, once the BCS started, outside of like the Rose Bowl, wouldn't it have made a ton of sense for college football to just have bowls go down the line and pick the most-interesting games they could?

We? would no doubt get a Sun Bowl vs greased up Cal/Stanford.
so we’ve never been within 1 of the win total. Either under by 2-3 or over by 2-5.
Yikes. 10-2 is a playoff team.
6-6 or worse is fire Fisch.
5 "for sure" wins in Weber St, Eastern Mich, WSU and NW at home to start the season, and a loss @Indiana had better mean the team plane crashed in Lake Michigan.
5-0
At Rugters, USC, UCLA are season difference makers. Say 2-1.
7-1
(I know this isn't in order)
Michigan, @Pedo, @No Nattys = 0-3.
7-4.
@Iowa? UW won't be favored.
7-5.
Sun Bowel? 8-5.
Beat Iowa, nothing else matters = 9-4.

UW apparently asked for the Penn St whiteout game when it was originally just going to be Big Noon Kickoff that weekend.
I don't know if that means that we?re going to get blown out by 30 and look stupid, but I know that neither Fisch nor his staff is afraid of Franklin. Only Chris Petersen lives in fear of that guy.

I think the talk about lost production is a bit over played. We're replacing Penix with an experienced guy with a ton of yards in the SEC. We brought in a RB with over 800 yards last year. Obviously the receiver room is down but there is a lot of talent still there. I think the secondary will be decent. The lines are a question mark, but I think the staff might be able to work around it a little bit. Yes I'm looking through a purple lens but I'll always be a Husky fan and hope for the best.
We? play at Iowa the week after hosting Michigan. Total trap game and probably will feel like a 9 am kickoff for UW. I have that written in ink as a loss.

I guess the question really comes down to this:
Is modern college football so shitty that a team can win 9 games without an offensive or defensive line? Is anyone picking 9+ wins here the equivalent of a hilariously overconfident Cougcenter poaster?
I'll take your answers off the air.

I love the expectation of zero OL and DL. I hope the enemy gameplans for that. It's going to shock them when we actually roll out 5 OL and 4 DL. Gameplans will need to be scrapped. Gonna take at least 3 quarters to adjust, but Dawgs will be up 28+ by then.

I like it. You're going to the Big 10. You're playing big time football. Let's get the experience. If I made it to the level of UW football I want to run out at Penn State in the white out. Need to go in with the killer mindset, even if you lose.
It's far from an automatic loss. For all the deserved scrutiny of JJ McCarthy being a game manager he's about the most dynamic QB Michigan has ever had. They usually are borderline Wisconsin with some random stiff who holds them back and now they're losing their star RB, impact WRs, and entire starting OL.
Go back and watch the 2021 at Ann Arbor. Even that Jimmy team could have made that game competitive had Jimmy brought in a real transfer QB an don't gotten Odunze/McMillan hurt in practice and had bad luck with Polk.
I'd put my FanDuel Line at -15 but if Michigan's QB comes out and is inept and we're properly greased, look out.

When I trust this returning DL more than the OL you know that's no bueno.
W's: Weber, EMU, Indiana, NW
L's are Penn State MIchigan, Zero's and SC
50/50 games: WSU/Rutgers/Ucla/Iowa. I'll say 3-1 (but think both WSU/Rutgers games won't be decided until last possession)
I think we get Iowa, but have hangover from White Out and that plus short week following Friday vs UCLA is the trip up game going into bye week b4 we finish at Autzen.
Bowl game total ? Mark.
