He plays in the PAC 10 with a bunch of other weak rosters. He also has a good coach and a team that is built on offense. It isn’t like he was grinding it out with a bunch of dominant teams every week.

Washington was in the playoff a couple years ago.

wrong. he had the best defensive player in the country
Player as in singular. Newton and Fairley were the only first round picks from Auburn in the 3 drafts (2011-12-13) after the National Title. They had 4 guys total in the 2011 draft the other 2 were 7th rounders. They had 1 player drafted in each of the next 2 drafts a 4th and a 3rd rounder. Thats 6 total NFL players only 3 in the first 3 rounds. 2019 LSU had 5 first rounder and 15 total in just the 2020 draft.
Auburn was 8-5 in 2009 and 8-5 in 2011. I stand by my statement Newton won with a mediocre team

“he had the best defensive player in the country”
Not even close, JJ Watt, Patrick Peterson, Luke Kuechly, Marcel Darrius, Von Miller, Vontaze Burfict, Lavonte Davis, Justin Houston, Stephon Gilmore and Mark Barron were all better.

Washington is stacked with NFL talent at receiver. Odunze is a top 10 pick. I bet Polk goes around round 2-3 and McMillan 4-5, maybe higher.

Yeah idk where that guy is getting Auburn was anything but an average team without Cam. Fairley made an impact, but he also disappeared for long stretches. He had that switch and he won awards on his performances against UGA and Bama that year. He was an animal in those games.
But UW has 3 very good WRs. One is elite. They have the Joe Moore award-winning OL. Also, one of the best coaches in the game. Cam dragged Gene Chizik to a title against better competetion.

And he has pedestrian stats compared to the greatest to ever play. Pretty simple, actually.

The week before he played great vs Oregon.
Post game he said no excuses. DeBoer didn’t allude to any issue.
So unless you have some other explanation for his 0 TDs and 3 turnovers against a 3-9 team I think it’s appropriate to say that he’s a great player who had a bad game vs a very bad team and his team the huskies gritted it out, overcame it, and did hat championship teams do-found a way to win.
Its not a significant knock on penix or Washington to say he’s not the single most impactful player in recent history

Did you read a couple tweets then just decide it’s truth?
Washington’s roster is legit. It’s not your typical Alabama or Georgia of last few years, but they’re not Miss St either.

Joe Burrow had people thinking a retarded swamp monster was a good football coach.

UW keeps injury news mostly private. The rumors is that he had some sort of rib injury that he suffered towards the end of the Oregon game, then played the next several weeks with that.
Then he caught a bad flu for the ASU and Stanford games. The flu went through the entire locker room and hit the OL hard for the ASU game. Sounds like some players were still battling the flu through the USC game, then were healthy after that.
UW was mostly healthy through the first Oregon game, then had quite a few injuries and sickness the next several games. The Pac-12 Championship Game was the healthiest they had been since early in the year.

The recruiting rankings are wrong, or there’s a new variable not being accounted for - like transfers and NIL

Tough to argue that. We had a stacked roster but the team fed off of his leadership IMO

Cam had one of the best seasons ever as a college qb.. did he do it alone??? No…. But overall LSU was a better team than AU that year. Cam put them in the position to win that game. And look at the comeback against bama…. He put that team on his shoulders and carried them to the title.

Auburn had the least amount of NFL talent of any NC winning team in the BCS/CFP era. Not a single WR or RB on that team was drafted. Yes there were 10 other guys on the field with him but it’s as a close to “alone” as you can get.

LOLOL NOPE!
Not even remotely close to that.
Joe Burrow and several others would have a lot say about that garbage.
