This could have been titled “A list of teams currently or soon to be in the Big 10 and SEC…plus some nob slobbing for Dabo”.

Bias aside I don't think many pundits think we improved our defense enough to swim in the deep end.

As much of a homer that I am I would not put UW in the blue-bloods class.

We were a bad snap against ASU away last year from a one loss season and playing in the Pac 12 Ship. Hell, if USC's QB doesn't get hurt in the Pac 12 Ship, we still play in the Rose Bowl. I don't know, seems pretty damn good to me.

You think Texas is better than us?

Keep in mind that this last year in the bowl game we only beat Texas by 7. And they had their #1 & #2 running backs out (to train for the draft). I'd say that if Texas would have had their 1 & 2 running backs playing we would not have won that game.

I don't remember them missing both backs. Pretty sure we were missing most of our CBs for most of the season. Not to mention, the final score might have been close against Texas, but that game wasn't as close as one TD.

And those two backs are not on the team this year. They had 8 seniors starting on their defense last year that won't be back.
We return just about every impact player that was on the squad last year other than Kirkland.

I was just reminding everyone that Texas didn't have their 'entire' team in the bowl game. Us [University of Washington] did have our entire team for the bowl game.
