Um, did you see Oregon's defense the last few years?
2018: UW #1 Pac-12 defense
2017: UW #1 Pac-12 defense
2016: UW #1 Pac-12 defense
2015: UW #1 Pac-12 defense
You just come accross so one sided that it is hard to take your strong one-sided opinion seriously. It's all credit to UW and invalidating others. It just makes for a weak argument.
You discredit Cristobal as a coach and credit UW defense. However, Cristobal and Oregon beat UW this past season. Now Oregon has put together the best draft class of the Pac 12 and it is built around some amazing defensive recruits. Including the #1 recruit in the country.
Of course I am one sided, that's my school, but that doesn't mean I lie or post ridiculous predictions like some here, (you know who you are).
If you pay attention to my posts I generally post sources so it isn't just my opinion, it's supported by facts.
Yes, Oregon had a great recruiting class this but what I said was their great recruiting isn't supported by anything. Mario Cristobal has a 36-54 coaching record and
Jim Leavitt is the most overrated defensive coordinator in college football. The only time he has had a top-rated defense is when he had 4th and 5th year players at Colorado. Look at the last few years, Oregon's defense has been among the worst in the Pac-12 year after year.
And, Oregon didn't beat the Huskies this year, Coach Petersen beat the Huskies this year with that horrible decision to not try to get closer or get a TD with a 1st down, two timeouts, and 32 seconds remaining.
And I don't invalidate others, I invalidate Oregon because it is a corrupt program that utilizes the resources of a major corporation to build a brand, something that I, and many others feel is a direct violation of rules regarding unfair contributions. The fact that the NCAA doesn't have the balls to pursue that is a story for another thread.
And, Oregon does not have the #1 recruiting class in the Pac, UW does. UW has an almost 2 to 1 ratio of 4-stars to 3-stars while Oregon has a less than 50/50 split. Those ratings are based upon algorithms and sites like Rivals who don't know WTF they are doing.
