Everyone loves the Cougs ... except ESPN Gameday(??) (Episode 198)
Manage episode 378813264 series 2509794
WSU football has soared to No. 13 in the AP poll after beating then-No. 14 Oregon State 38-35, followed by watching the Beavers easily hand then-No. 10 Utah a humbling 21-7 defeat the next week.
Just how good have the Cougars been in this opening four-game stretch? They currently rank sixth in ESPN.com’s “resumé” metric, sitting one spot ahead of Georgia, the defending national champs and No. 1 team in the AP poll.
In short, WSU has been about as good as a team who has played their schedule can be.
But now they head out on the road for a stiff test at UCLA, where the Bruins have entered some sort of a bizarro world: A Chip Kelley-coached team that is defense forward. UCLA is a 3.5-point favorite in most places, so the game figures to be tight. We break it down.
Other topics of discussion:
* Pat McAfee is an asshole, and College Gameday’s attitude toward WSU right now is repulsive.
* Volleyball is up to No. 4(!!) in the rankings. After what should be a tune-up against Cal on Friday, the main event awaits on Sunday: No. 3 Stanford in Bohler Gym. As near as we can tell, it’s the lowest combined ranking for any WSU game … ever.
* Beer. Jeff: Boss Pour (Abnormal). Craig: Flowers of the Sky (Bizarre).
* WSU soccer hit the skids against some really talented teams. Cause for concern or just a run of bad luck against highly ranked opponents?
