A Critical Look at the 2017 Washington Schedule/with predictions en sech

[socaljim242]

I was surprised myself not to see SC on there. That list is kind of screwy.

If you check the other article they dont have USC in the top 25 offenses. lol.

Kind of strange, since USC has the talent to make the playoffs.

I know I'm a USC homer but they don't have them with a top 25 offense or defense. That's a little nuts considering they finished #3 last season are in most pre season polls in the top 5 this season and have a QB with Heisman potential.

USC was 19 in total O and 27 in total D per ESPN stats page.
did they lose a lot?

They lost Adoree ,Juju and Darreus Rodgers and three starting O linemen . But what you wrote should tell you something. 19th in O , 27th in D and yet rolled off 10 wins and a Rose bowl and finished 3rd. They should be just as good or better on O and better on Defense. I don't care what formula they use, theres no way Troy and Tulane or Boston College and Navy have better Defenses or Offenses.

I mean this one doesn't look to be hard at all

W @Rutgers = It's Rutgers, mmmmk
W Montana = Not a problem what so ever.
W Fresno State = I checked, Fresno is not a State at all.
W @Colorado = This isn't last years Colorado. They are Colorado so they'll suck.
W @Oregon State = 1st three away game opponent will combine for 8 total wins combined.
W California = Seriously no problem here. You couldn't give a game away to Cal. Not possible.
W @Arizona State = Tough game. But Washington cruises in the 4th with overwhelming Coaching.
W BYE = Yeah, they'll be that good.
W UCLA = See Rutgers
W Oregon = Bus in the clowns. Then more clowns. Big win for Washington for a 2nd straight year.
W @Stanford Hardest game on the schedule. Washington pulls it out.
W Utah = Second straight tough game. Will get Washington battle tested for the PAC Championship.
W Washington Stat = Puts a scare into Washington fans because Leach is the pirate.

I just don't see how Washington can lose to anyone on this schedule.
It sets up nice.
Some hard games but not impossible.

Probably PAC Champs with a return to the Playoffs.


#amirite or what

Can you start one of these for Boise State next week?

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

I'm thinking one loss

because the Pac-12 is like that

statistically they will because they wont play the same kinds of teams.

Laughable list. Troy, Western Michigan, Boston College, BYU, San Diego State, Army, Appy St, Wake Forrest, Tulane ......But no USC . lol

Army was 3rd. Boston College was 8th. App St was 11th. San Diego State was 17th. USC 27th. BYU and Troy at 28th. Tulane at 30th. Wake Forest at 33.
mostly because those teams wont play as offensively prolific teams as USC who will play the 12th, 37th, 20th, 17th, 49th, 24th offenses from last season.
teams like App st will face 0 teams in the top 50 offenses.
Troy will play 1.
WM plays 3.

Well thats my point. There's probably 45-50 teams with a better offence or defense than a lot of those teams on that top 25 list. It's a joke.

Just hope he doesn't do to Boise St. what he did to West Virginia when he did their schedule.

I'm curious to see whether the teams he analyzes do well this year or do bad

9 best bets on college football early season win totals
Nine best bets on 2017 college football early season win totals

Washington OVER 9 ½ wins

Were it not for USC, Washington would have rolled into the College Football Playoff undefeated last season. So guess who drops off the schedule this year? Of course that doesn’t mean to pencil the Huskies in for 12–0. A trip to Stanford and home matchups with UCLA and Oregon should test Chris Petersen’s squad. But with the bulk of the offense from last season back and some exciting young faces ready to step in to fill holes in the secondary (including Pac-12 freshman defensive player of the year Taylor Rapp), it’s hard to draw up a path to nine wins or less.

Portland State resents this comment!

It's not Leach's fault that it seems every year our Big Sky opponent ends up fighting a FCS title, just like this year. Montana State, Eastern and Portland State> Rutgers.

Leach is 1 - 1 vs Rutgers.
