I’ve come to a peace with the idea UW will lose round 1.
I don’t quite see it as clearly as the rest of the world seems to, beyond UW’s not-good offense against Oregon’s good defense.
But UW is due to disappoint, and I’d rather not spend the week defending UW’s honor, only to see conventional wisdom be right after a game seeped in randomness goes one way. If UW loses or wins, I imagine I’ll have a good feel why or why not.
I listened to something that suggested Irvine might upset KSU without its best player and then get Oregon, which feels like a nightmare scenario in terms of feelings.
