Not in the final Playoff rankings.

When we're those released?

 

[TheDayMan]

UW should have lost to Utah and WSU so they'd still be ranked.

[The Oldtimer]

Not in the final Playoff rankings.

Okay fair enough.

When we're those released?

Tuesday but it's obvious Utah will drop out of the top 25 after losing 2 in a row and were barely in the top 25 this week. Again the dogs only top 25 win was Stanford which is at an all time low this year and their OOCSOS is the worst in the NCAA at 128th. Yes they have one more W but that doesn't cancel out the terrible schedule. That's just my opinion and I think the committee will give the Dogs the nod if they beat Colorado.

 

[GNG]

Hey congrats to Penn State. Hope your team takes care of Wisky in the BigTen CCG.

I'm picking Wisky to beat Penn State.

 

[WizardHawk]

You forgot Utah. Utah was ranked when the Huskies beat them.

Knocking Utah and WSU out of the top 25 where both are still less than 30th+ doesn't count to the haters. Just like Stanford didn't count for a long time because we beat them so badly they got knocked out and had to claw back in.

Losing two games to anyone disqualifies you unless you at least win your conference and there are issues with not enough 1 loss conference winners. If people really feel OSU is a lock when they don't even reach the CCG, you are eliminating the chance for PSU or Wisky if both Clemson and UW win next week. CCG wins count for a huge amount.

All of those others have to hope for Colorado and/or VT to win next week. It's their best bet to have a claim.

 

[TheDayMan]

Okay fair enough.

The playoff rankings haven't been released yet. WSU will drop out, Utah probably will, but they might not. They lost a close game to #9.

Don't let him fool you with his jackassery.

Not at all they're middle of the road teams that have been exposed like the Dogs were at home when they finally faced a legit team.

Right... but Wisconsin gets credit for losing to the top teams they played...

I bet it does.

Close game?? USC had control of that game for almost the entire game and they won that game by 13 points in your own dog house. They are who we thought they were.

 

[Logicallylethal]

Not in the final Playoff rankings.

That's not a guarantee. Utah is still ranked 24th in the coaches poll. But regardless they are still an 8-4 team that beat USC.

Rankings are very subjective. Records aren't. Fact is if Washington beats Colorado next week they will be 4-1 against teams over .500

Wisconsin's quality teams have a 76 win percentage, Washington's quality teams have a 74 win percentage

The difference...Washington will be 4-1 against those teams whereas Wisconsin will be 5-2 (if they beat Penn State)

Washington will be 12-1 overall compared to 11-2

4-1>5-2

12-1>11-2

Washington has also outscored those quality teams by an average score of 33-18. Wisconsin...19-17

Style points matter. Washington can only play the teams on their schedule. They've absolutely decimated teams they should beat (404-141) outscoring them by 263 pts and they've won by large margins over the quality teams they have faced.

Doesn't make much sense, does it?

Didn't Wisconsin lose at home to Ohio State?

 

[Great Dayne]

That's not a guarantee. Utah is still ranked 24th in the coaches poll. But regardless they are still an 8-4 team that beat USC.-Not guranteed but losing 2 in a row including getting blown out and to the second worst team in the PAC might end their chances. That was USC before they became great again.

Rankings are very subjective. Records aren't. Fact is if Washington beats Colorado next week they will be 4-1 against teams over .500. And Western Michigan is 4-0 so Western Michigan>>>>Huskies

Quality of opponent matters

 

[Great Dayne]

Didn't Wisconsin lose at home to Ohio State?

So???

 

[The Oldtimer]

So???

You were ranking on Washington for losing at home. "So I was just saying that Wisconsin lost at home. "So" what was your point?

 

[TheDayMan]

Quality of opponent matters

Not when you lose to all of them.

 

[TheDayMan]

Doesn't make much sense, does it?

No, I'm not the one saying it, afterall...
