Stat to Know

[The Miami Ute]

The Washington Huskies have now won eight straight games by 10 points or fewer. That’s the longest streak ever by a ranked team in the AP poll era. Who here thinks that streak is obliterated next Friday night in Vegas?

I believe Oregon will win because I think they have the better all-around team. I also won’t be shocked if UW wins which is why we play the game.

[MTUTE]

They are an interesting case to me. I want to think Oregon is going to beat them, but I am not sure they will. I think the Huskies are a team that either plays up or down depending on their competition each week. Either way, it’s going to be a great game and I look forward to seeing it.

[Utah]

If Oregon comes out focused and thinking they will lose, Oregon will win big.

If Oregon thinks they will blow UW out, then it will be a close game.

it could be a situation similar to last year, where everyone thought utah would get trucked by usc in the rematch

[2008 National Champ]

What I’m hearing is that they’ve found a way to win those 8 straight games. If you go back through their 19 game winning streak, 13 of those games are by 10 points or less.

Seems like a weird cutoff point to say they are overrated though. UW played a tougher conference schedule than Oregon and beat Oregon/Oregon State 4 times in that streak.

I read Penix has a rib injury. He didn’t play well Saturday.

[CityCreekUte]

Well the other undefeated team FSU has been behind in like half their games. I think for both it’s eerily like last year with TCU who managed to pull out win after win in some way shape or form. And what would happen in the playoff.

But I think it’s unlikely they are going to beat Oregon twice.

I think Oregon got cute in that game in Seattle and they paid the price. I think UW manages points because their offense is just plain good, but I don’t think their defense stops OU offense and it’s a two score win. 38-24, something like that.
