    To be fair to them, the game was over before halftime

    But that’s a bad excuse if you are on the AP voting committee and say that....and then drop UW and move another team that played before midnight eastern time lol.

    Also, didn’t USC struggle with this Cal team for 3+ quarters but still I’ve seen people starting that USC is still the best team in the conference.

    Meh, no one is saying anything bad about you. People are just focusing on USC cause it's USC and darnold. UW hasn't had enough prime time games for people to notice them yet.

    Washington needs to embrace ESPN not paying attention to them.

    Every single one of UWs games have kicked off after 8PM EST with last nights and next weeks kicking at 10:45 EST.

    I know television deals determine a lot (all?) of start times, but can't UW force the issue if it's actually hurting their rankings by playing so late on the east coast? Also, as long as they keep winning, we know an undefeated/one-loss Pac-12 winner is very probably getting into the playoff, even if no one watches them play up to that point, haha.

    Nope. Larry Scott (PAC-12 Commish) did a media scrum at halftime of the game last night and was asked about it and he said that he didn’t agree with Chris Petersen’s assessment that no one watches and that it won’t be changing. $$$ rules most things, this is not an exception.

    I really wish he stepped down, why is a guy with a BA in euro history even running any organization? Hate him

    Sorry, I am venting a little bit on this beautiful Sunday morning as I am zooming through the TV broadcast from last night but Jesus Christ....



    Listen, UW has a shit OCC schedule but this was made 5 years ago, it's not like Chris Petersen is sitting in his office twirling his non-existent mustache saying "Ah yes....Fresno, Montana and Uh....Rutgers, now that's the good shit". They were SUPPOSED to start a H/H series with Wisconsin this year but Barry Alvarez pissed himself and cancelled. They have Auburn in Auburn territory next year, H/H v. Michigan in 2020 (which Michigan is currently trying to get out of) and Ohio State H/H starting in 2023.

    Have they done this cupcake shit with Alabama games? Penn State?



    The only team there that has a good OCC win is Clemson. Bamas win v. FSU is not a good win anymore (just like UW's crushing of Stanford last year was looked at as "not very good" despite beating them when they were ranked #6 at the time).

    Ok, I think I am just about done.

    I really do wish they (websites / channels) would mention that OOC schedules are determined like half a decade in advance. This isn't NCAA football where you get to make your own schedule right before the season starts.

    Idiots.



    That program is fucked regardless of the coach so I guess it doesn’t matter much.

    Haven’t seen his name at all in the main rumors around here. Or if you mean Butch to OSU by all means that can happen

    It is insanity that someone in the worst job in the PAC-12 cannot outlast Butch Jones.

    To be fair butch jones can convince players to be coached by him, Gary Andersen can't convince a chicken to cross the road

    The greatest part of this year will be when Butch Jones beats Alabama and loses to Missouri.

    That makes sense, going to be a longgg rebuild so a young alum is logical. Though, initially they'd probably want someone who is a defensive coach but I guess you can hire a top DC.
