They'll still have a PAC-12 championship game as well. If they make it.
Wow so they will play one top 10 team. LSU beat 3 top 5 teams in 2011 and would have been 4 had a mulligan not happened and 10 top 25 teams. Teams need to be not rewarded for not playing anyone

Let's see how things shake out since it's week two.

As I posted in the AP Poll thread:
This is going to be the same shite as last year. Chris Peterson went to Washington but he brought along his Boise State schedule.
Last year:
Rutgers
Idaho
Portland State
There is no greater gift from the Poll gods than to start highly ranked with a shitty schedule.
Washington should have to work it's way up by impressing with blowouts.

Not really getting the Washington love at #6 considering Rutgers just lost to EMU at home.
EMU held Rutgers to 1-point less than Washington did.

Washington proved last year you should only schedule cupcakes. Here was there schedule with assigned rankings at the times the playoffs were chosen:
5 ranked teams and a 4-1 record against those teams.
Clemson played #17 Auburn, #15 Louisville, #10 Florida State, and #18 Virginia Tech, and lost to #22 Pittsburg. Is Washington really that much worse?

Washington had a good SOS last year, overall.

Between, Colorado, Utah, Oregon and WSU all of whom will probably win out in OOC are all on the verge of the top 25. One or two of those teams will be top 25 and potentially playing a top 5 - 10 in SC.
They're fine.
They're fine.

Only because it was a decent Pac-12 year.
If it was a shitty Pac year and Colorado, USC and Stanford weren't any good Washington's schedule would have stunk.
The 2nd place team in the North went 8-5 overall.
The 1st place team in the South went 10-4 overall.
Washington needs to go out and schedule a big boy - at least 1 - in their first 3 preseason scrimmages before conference play if they want to remain getting this preseason respect and love.

Last year was not a decent year in the Pac 12, lmao, and they got in with a loss. I wouldn't schedule big boys.

they'll still likely make the playoff at 11-1.

Washington used to schedule extremely difficult OOC. The last couple years have been pathetic.
The last 5 years have been pathetic.
It's all Idaho and Eastern Washington and Portland State and Hawaii and Georgia State for their first 4 games!
The last time Washington scheduled a real OOC opponent was 2012 - LSU.
That early schedule was a killer - and they probably freaked out about it.
2012 - first 6 weeks of the season.
San Diego State
# 3 LSU
Portland State
#8 Stanford
#2 Oregon
#11 USC
Now they take the first 3 or 4 games as total preseason warmup...no more big-time program disrupting the first 4 weeks.

By comparison LSU will play #24 Florida, #15 Auburn, #23 Tennessee and #1 Bama. The rest of the games are against bottom dweller SEC teams.
BYU
Chattanooga
Troy
Syracuse
Texas A&M
Arkansas
Miss St
Ole Miss
All of those teams are mediocre to above average. Nothing screams toughest schedule in the country. The OOC schedule is just as bad as Washington.

Our OOC schedule is pathetic. But having 9 conference games plus a conference championship game really helps with the overall SOS, which is more important anyways. Take the bottom 3 OOC rent-a-wins for the following teams, and it's pretty equal...
Alabama: Fresno State, Colorado State, Mercer
LSU: Chattanooga, Troy, Syracuse
Auburn: Geogia Southern, Mercer, Louisiana-Monroe
Washington: Rutgers, Fresno State, Montana

The PAC 12 North may be the toughest division Top to bottom.
If this is true then Cal should beat Ole Miss this weekend.
Rankings are popularity polls and even at the end of the year do not measure the strength of a team

Well if Boise St was ranked accordingly then Washington St would be a top 15 team
Same as Stanford's game against SDSU.
San Diego St should be a Top 15 team but they are not so if Stanford can beat them no one will be impressed even though they could beat a very good football team

Alabama and LSU probably won't have played many ranked teams by the time bowl season comes around.
