There is no fucking way UW goes 6-6 to go over the 5 win total. To break this down quickly:

- The OOC schedule for UW is OU, BYU, ND all at home. I think anyone that knows college football will agree that Oklahoma and BYU are blowout losses. I'll say they could beat ND at home, but ND should be a 7 or 8 win team that can hold their own. I think most of us would be shocked if they beat BYU and Notre Dame. They go 1-2 in the OOC AT BEST.

- Let's just chalk up the following four games as losses: @ Oregon (to start the year), @ USC, @ ASU, @ Cal (to end the year). I'll give them Stanford at home. But the rest of the games are tossups to most likely losses: @ Arizona, Oregon State, UCLA, @ WSU. Does anyone want to confidently say they go 3-1 out of those 4 games? That's 2-2 AT BEST.

A lot has to happen for UW to get to 5 wins (which would be a push) much less 6 wins for the bet to be a loser. Anyone else feel the same way?

Yes, I feel that you are a homer.

(and TW is down the road)

Yes I agree.


Still looking for a line on WSU because I see them under 4... Sorry.
I like Wulff though.

I wouldn't be so sure BYU is a blowout loss especially AT washington. Everyone was all high on BYU but they certainly looked weak to me in their bowl game against what I thought was a weak UCLA team last year, especially at the end of the year with Osaar and Mcleod Bethel-Thompson playing. I don't think this team is gonna show up against big6 opponents kind of like Boise St last year at Washington.

If UW gets a little more healthy I think they can beat both ND and BYU

The ASU game is at Washington. ASU has always had trouble at UW even when good. I wouldn't count that as a gimmie

I laugh when people make the comparison of BSU/BYU. You can't compare the two. BSU was coming off their biggest season in school history with a new starting QB and a revamped defense. BYU returns essentially everyone, including their starting QB and top WRs. BYU will crush them, lock it up.

So in order for the bet to lose they have to win 6 of those 7 'winnable' games. I'd be floored if they achieved that.
