welcome to overbloated conferences! where teams in the same conference can play fewer times than non-conference opponents.

bama and uga have played 7 times since 2010. only 2 were reg season conf game. and 2 weren't even conf titles games.

or bama/usc. we've played 1 time since 2010.
It doesn't have to be this way, even in bloated conferences.
We have very old, very unimaginative people making scheduling decisions.

we could have guys figuring a 20 team conference with 10 team divisions is very simply 2 (10-team) conferences called divisions playing a round robin 9-gam schedule with a conf champ game that present's the champ to the playoff

10. Washington

Washington might be the most vulnerable preseason Top 10 team in a while.

Last season A LOT went right for the Huskies to go 11-2, finishing #8.

They won their close games, won the TO margins, and above all, Michael Penix stayed healthy.

Michael Penix is rightly billed as a Heisman Candidate going into this season, but I can’t think of a team more dependent on a single player than Washington is on Penix. And for a guy who was always injured as Indiana’s QB and was health-wise very fortunate last season, it’s a doubly risky dependency. I don’t see how Penix isn’t injured at some point this season.

Washington’s electric wide receiving corps all returns but three mainstays on the OL leave an offense that finished 2nd in total offense last season (518 yds/game).

Sept 16 @ Michigan State sets the tone of their season, as this same early matchup did so last year for both schools.

Speaking of Michigan State, anyone seen @ELA lately?
