#5 Washington @ California - 10:30 PM ET (ESPN)

[VolsSportsFan]

Likely never find out because no other scenario makes a lot of sense.

But if they match up on a neutral field in playoffs, Alabama would be favored by how much, do you think?

At least 14.

 

[Boston Vol]

At least 14.

Agree. Probably would be around 17.

Glad I didn't buy a lottery ticket today.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I agree.

Washington isn't very good. They're due for a loss or two.

I could see USC or Washington State winning this conference.

Good call.

It just amazes me that people on here keep propping up the SEC. Outside of Bama, it's hot garbage.

Silly kid.

Look at the NFL draft boards.

The SEC has more talent than any other conference. We just beat up on each other. If you put mediocre SEC teams like Arkansas in the Big 12 or Pac 12, they would be competing for the playoffs.

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

Ask NFL scouts how good John Ross is. They don't give a damn about level of competition, they only care about talent. He's going to be a first round pick.

LOL. No Way.

No sub-6 foot WRs go in the first round.

Best case scenario for him is 2nd round if he runs sub-4.4 at the combine.

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

Good call.

USC will beat them next week.

And possibly again in the Pac 12 championship game.

I simply will not believe in Washington till they play someone good from another conference.

Percy Harvin (probably before your time) went in the first.

Brandin Cooks went in the first.

Kendall Wright (again before your time as a college fan)

Tavon Austin...I can keep going.


All under 6" tall and all 1st round picks

 

[YankeeVol]

Corey Coleman in this years draft. Guess what?

Under 6" and picked in the 1st round!

You're going to continue to be wrong.

 

[tumscalcium]

Washington is really good.

 

[LotteryPick]

Just boggles my mind that people underestimating Washington don't respect Petersen more as a coach.

Their defense is disciplined and not undersized and their offense has speeeeed every where.

 

[Boston Vol]

Washington is really good.

Apple Cup is going to be great this season.

 

[joevol33]

Was D4H correct about his prediction?😬

 

[tumscalcium]

Apple Cup is going to be great this season.

I want the atmosphere of the '92 game. Ha

Who is disrespecting Petersen? Some of us are just saying they are a good team but not as good as their ranking. They havent really played anyone. Yes they have looked good, but saying they have speed everywhere and are loaded with NFL talent is shortsighted.

Theyplay in a weak conference that isnt known for its defense. I mean look at Cal. I mean geez. They have zero defense. Their players look like they have great speed because their competition is subpar. Now, they may surprise a lot of people and make it into the playoffs and beat a really good team. Hell, they could win it all for all I know. I would be hapoy for them if they did. And I will completely change my attitude about them if they do beat a good team in the playoffs. Until then, at least in my opinion, they are a good, but not playoff good team.
