Browning sure is impressive. Hell...the entire team is just impressive. And, it all starts with Petersen, even though it's only his 3rd year -- certainly kicked Utah's a$$ at BSU.

The Oregon QB appears to be pretty decent.
You can scratch Wisconsin-Nebraska. Game's in Madison, and Gameday ain't going there 2 times in three weeks (it's there this week for Ohio State-Wisconsin).
There's a good case for Clemson-FSU, as Gameday hasn't been to Tallahassee since 2014, and was in SLC last year. But let's face facts -- unlike last year, when we were on top of the marquee -- Washington is the draw. And UW hasn't been part of a Gameday as host or visitor since 2013 (at No. 2 Oregon). That ended a decade-long absence from GameDay, and their resurgence is arguably one of the three biggest stories in CFB this year.
I would say 7-1 Utah/8-0 Washington would have more than a decent shot at being selected -- it would be a mortal lock. Unless there's some SEC game that's gonna determine if someone's bowl eligible.
Wazzu is 0-5 on FG's this year.

I wonder if Leach will just start going for it on 4th down like Urban did a few years ago.
Why Chris Petersen made QB Jake Browning do 500 push-ups at practice

This reminds me of John Wooden. When all is said and done, Chris Peterson is going to be remembered as one of the great PAC-12 coaches.
The moment that led to those 500 push-ups:

Well, at least we are only 10th in the conference academically (according to the Wall Street Journal).

Do we assume Chris Peterson is pretty well entrenched at UW just because he stayed at Boise so long while constantly being in high demand? I'm just wondering because I never hear his name mentioned when people speculate about schools with openings (or soon-to-be openings) like LSU and Texas. If I'm LSU I throw everything I can at Peterson. Would he take it? Or would he rather take his inevitable raise and stay at UW?
Wazzu is real. The north is stacked. And the buffs? Wtf? I hope we have our 7th string center by the time we play them.
Colorado is much improved. They look good. BUT, why do we forget how they looked vs two teams that we are just as good as, if not better than:
Michigan
USC
Colorado lost both games.
Can Colorado beat us? Yup.
We should win that game. We are better than they are. The Colorado game will be like it always is: one score game.
I like our chances in those games. Our defense and coaching and Troy Williams.
We will beat Washington and Colorado.
The sun still has not risen in Eugene. It may never again.
The Beavs are -37 vs. the Huskies. If I were a better I'd take the points and bet the farm.

The sun has still not come out in Eugene. After tonight, I expect it may disappear until March Madness.

Pathetic crowd at Cal for this game tonight. Less than half full at kick off.

If Cal can win out, they'd have a great shot to win the North. So, we should all be Cal fans and hope they win out.
Prukup wasn't impressing anyone and wasn't going to do anything special, but changing to the freshman was an attempt at smoke screen. That way any progress the rest of the way can be pointed as "look we were young, playing a true freshman QB. Made some strides as the year progressed". Never mind that the defense is ranked something like 125 in the country.
Over the next 5 weeks the only teams that I care about winning, and hopefully by very wide margins, are in this order
Go Bucs! Go Jameis!
Go Saints!
Go Cards!
Go Patriots!
Go Dolphins!
C'mon Stanford! Beat the Buffs! Right, Sancho?
Buffs win...bowl eligible for the first time since 2007. Alright guys, go back to being average.

Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
