Our marquee OOC win

Isn't Rosen injured? Weren't looking good beforehand regardless, but I don't think it ends up hurting us. Will take a lot of chips to fall our way anyway.

is now 3-6, staring at a 4-8/5-9 finish.

Hopefully we get some credit for just scheduling the game.

OOC isn't why A&M is in the top 4. SEC is why A&M is in the top 4.

The good news is that 25 penalty game against CU tonight makes the Pac-12 look bad

Pat Forde was on Twitter saying UW being ranked #5 is the result of the perception of that league

their offense is inexplicably bad.

because with rosen out, everyone knows we are going to have to run the football

I think the committee members gave us a boost relative to Washington in part because we challenged ourselves in non-conference, unlike the huskies.

He played in 6 I'm pretty sure, unless you're saying he was playing hurt for the other three. They were 3-3 in those games

We get credit for 2 things:

1. We played them when they still had Rosen
2. We TRIED to schedule a legit team in OOC play, and Washington didn't even try.

---

That's the best case scenario, and I think at least part of the committee will see it that way. But I doubt mainstream media will.

Makes winning in impressive fashion all the more imperative.

We either have really bad luck or we just crush their spirit, but God help you if you play A&M the first game of the season.

USC
ASU
UCLA

All three with big expectations and all three finish at or below .500

Spurrier was done less than 2 years after and I'm beginning to wonder if Mora is even on the sidelines for our game next year. Fortunately for him, he got an unearned extension this offseason and it will cost ucla $15M to fire him. Would have been just $9M if he didn't get the 2 yr extension.
