Washington's first 4 games in 2014

The Bellotti schedule. Go 4-5 in league and you're 8-4. Get the Sark statue ready
 
We can shit the bed and still make a bowl with that schedule. Doogs will be clamoring for gameday early next season as well.
 
So if they go 5-4 in conference, boom! they're 9-4. Beat a team that doesn't want to be there in the bowl game and they're 10- 4. Cue up Doog comments like, "We're a ten win team and ranked 17th!! Why can't you be happy with that?!"
 
The one vestige of old-time Husky football that remained during the Willingham years was that we were still targeting the big boys in OOC games and trying to play an entertaining and challenging schedule. Now we're just watering everything down to take as much pressure off of Sark as possible.

That schedule is so fucking pathetic. I thought the "playoff" was supposed to get rid of this shit.

I guess Sark is officially waving the white flag regarding competing for a championship next year. 2015 is gonna be special.

Look at this year even going 3-0 in OOC so if Sark goes his usual 5-4 in conference play Doogs will be talking about "progress".

Next year the Huskies can go 5-4 in conference play and win the Las Vegas bowl finishing with 10 wins.

10 wins will never feel so shitty in my life.
 
I've been saying that 7 wins in 2010-2012 = 9 on the 2014 schedule.

The pac-12 schedule, which is difficult this year, flips next year so you get the shitty teams on the road. UO, Cal, UA, WSU, Col on the road with UCLA, Stan, ASU & OSU at home. 6-3 in conference = 10-3 going into a bowl.

My hope is some NFL team pops a nut over Sark and hires him away. Sark would pitch himself as some turnaround genius.

Sark's schedule strengths have been historically weak. He has been here only 4 years, and already has 3 outside the top 10.

Willingham's schedules ranked (according to Sagarin) 19, 5, 2, and 1.

Sark's have ranked 14, 3, 24, and 34. This year's may be easier than last year, and 2014 will be really bad. GSU is the worst team in FBS, and EWU may be the highest ranked of our OOC games.

If you cannot get a better record with a better team, get a better record with a weaker schedule.
