They haven't beat UW in Seattle since 2007... you act like that is a gimme.



:omg: A 1 game losing streak when they were a 9-4 team! Chalk that up as a L for USCw.

So ya'll won 2 in a row at home, against USCw on probation and probably their worse teams in the past decade. Congrats.

IMO they lose one of these. Maybe 2.

Might still get in the NC game with one loss though

2 Home/Road. Then USC got another Home game for a reason I don't know this past year.

Pretty much this. I think people don't understand what odds actually imply. Has nothing to do with whether they WILL win... its all about perception. If the public looks at a team like USC (trendy, easy pick, etc.) and says they have a strong chance to be in the top 2-3, plus have a fairly relaxed schedule, the odds will be in their favor.
UGA's schedule isn't really as "EASY" as everyone says, but not facing dominant teams is going to be beneficial. Even if our recent history shows we'll struggle with UF or we've failed to beat USCe in the last 3 seasons.
2 consecutive home wins for UW is hardly a stat to hang your hat on. I agree your QB showed some promise during the bowl game/end of the season but its not like you've rocketed into world-beater status yet. Slow down because your cart is in front of your horse right now.
<eta> Oh so its one home win that got you excited... Sound the effing alarm. USC is going down @ UW this year. :eyeroll: come on dude... even you aren't stupid enough to think that beating one of the worst teams USC has had in recent memory while on probation is equivalent to what you'll be facing this season. If you do then where do you get your weed?

You have a 1 game home win streak vs. USCw currently, congrats. USC will spank you guys this year just as bad as we will.

Why did you reference 2010 in regards to your original post which I responded to about playing IN SEATTLE. You said they haven't won in Seattle since 2007. They've only played once there since then.

Doubtful... our D will be improved and Keith Price is a great QB.

Better than Penn State's horrific offense.

LSU by 24-28 at least, you guys don't even come close to comparing to us.

And your defense gave up as much in your bowl game as we did to our entire conference schedule

Even Penn State with an alcoholic,glass jawed walk on white boy QB could have hung half a hundred on that squad

Looks like them & UK are lumped into the field bet. There's usually about 50 - 60 teams that have no individual odds & they are grouped together...

You can take the field, get about 50 - 1 odds & you have 50 or so teams on your card....

if it were not for a eidetic block in the back that was not called, 10-2 CAL and Bill Snyder would have beat your 1991 national champion Washington Huskies. actual score 24-17.


They were briefly as high as #2 in the nation during the QB era of Aaron Rogers.
