STOP DOING HEROIN
Washington made the Playoff last year! That was an unexpected but pleasant surprise, as Cris Petersen's rebuild finished ahead of schedule. We even gave Bama a decent fight for like, 1 1/2 quarters, which technically counts as a win, right?

Anyway, with Jake Browning back, the Huskies should be favorites to win the Pac-12 North again, but they lost a ton of experienced talent on both sides of the ball and USC owned our souls last year. Getting back to the Playoff is probably a pipe dream, but hey, it's nice to be nationally relevant again.

Key departures: WR John Ross, S Budda Baker, CB Sidney Jones, CB Kevin King, DL Joe Mathis
Key returning players: QB Jake Browning, RB Myles Gaskin, WR Dante Pettis, OT Trey Adams, DT Vea Vita, LB Azeem Victor

@ Rutgers: lol W
vs. Montana: lol W
vs. Fresno State: Another OOC jobber to pad our record. W
@ Colorado: I think the Buffs pull the upset at home to dash our playoff hopes early. L
@ Oregon State: I believe the Beavers are still poo poo. W
vs. Cal: Sure, why not. W
@ Arizona State: This is a tossup since we never play well in the desert, but tentative W
vs. UCLA: God loving damnit Jim Mora is gonna beat us in Seattle isn't he L
vs. Oregon: HOLY poo poo WE FINALLY BEAT OREGON LAST YEAR. They'll probably be better this year but gently caress it let's start a new streak W
@ Stanford: Nah, don't see it happening on the road. The Cardinal clinch the North here. L
vs. Utah: This team is always a tough out but I think we'll squeeze it out. W
vs. Washington State: Mike Leach seems to have no interest in taking the Apple Cup seriously. W


Best case: 11-1, beat Oregon again, repeat as Pac-12 champs.
What I expect: 9-3, hang around the Top 25 all year, win our bowl game.
Worst case: 7-5, We lose all our tossup games and annoying fans try to make "Seven Win Pete" a thing.

Yeah, seems about right. We'll lose to Stanford and let's say Utah to get that 9-3 and fart around in the Holiday Bowl
