The other side of this coin is that the entire league will be judged on how Stanford does non conference since nobody else plays anyone and by nobody I do mean Oregon playing Auburn
That's about it.
That's about it.
UW won the Pac 12 next year and Stanford got the CFP bid?
Let's say UW beats Stanford giving Stanford their only loss while UW loses a conference game but wins the tie breaker. Both are 11-1, UW 12-1 after beating Utah in the CCG
But!
THE TOUGHEST NONCONFERENCE SCHEDULE IN THE COUNTRY
Stanford: vs. Northwestern (Aug. 31), at UCF (Sept. 14), vs. Notre Dame (Nov. 30)
In addition to their nine Pac-12 games, the Cardinal host the defending Big Ten West champions, travel to play a team that just had a 25-game winning streak snapped and close the season against a team that came closer to beating Clemson (on the scoreboard at least) than Alabama did. Coming off an up-and-down 2018, there will be no free passes for David Shaw’s crew.
Stanford sweeps these games they get voted in ahead of Pussy U and our? pussy schedule
@YellowSnowStanford isn't sweeping those games and they'll be lucky to even be 2nd in the norte.
Whaa? I can totally see Stanford beating those three teams. Hardly a murderer's row.
None of them are patsies and Stanford is no longer a dominant team. They lose to either ND or UCF.
Or they don't. Either way, ....

David Shaw's crew > Derek Johnson's crew.

I still think it's a dumb point because our DAWGS always have destiny in their hands. Losers care about ESPN and winners win. I thought Race was better than this.

That's not the point

This is a real concern that Race has identified. It shouldn't be an issue, but the reality is that ESPN hates UW so much (I still don't understand why, but they do...it's fucking weird and inappropriate) such that those douches on College Football Live simply diminish everything about UW every time they have a chance. This is where the playoff committee is totally gullible in that none of them watch every game and thus they take their cues from ESPN...with ESPN bitch slapping UW it will naturally elevate any Pac12 team that is not UW - call it Oregon or Stanford or USC.
The disrespect is unreal!

I have a feeling UW fights ESPN on every goddamn thing. It goes back to Gameday against Oregon...maybe even before then.
UW wanted them in Red Square with the cameras facing Mt. Rainier. ESPN wanted a more academic shot and wanted the library. The fight was ridiculous but we know what happened. Schools bend over backwards when ESPN comes to town and they love it. UW welcomes them....sorta...but you aren't getting any special access.
They made the playoff for Chrissakes and the only back story I remember is Kenny Mayne doing something on Chico cause they went to the same high school.
So they come to campus and want back stories/interviews. CP tells them to fuck off so now he's "cantankerous".....there is never anything extra when they come to UW. We give them nothing it seems.
Because losing to Cal is a bad loss
