Does anyone here really believe UW or UC East Bay can win the North?

Call me crazy, but I do think that the B.ears have a chance to win the North.  They have an unfortunate break in their schedule which means that they have to play both Oregon and Stanford on the road, but T.edford + Michalczik is a formidable braintrust.  Their schedule is definitely more brutal than ours (Utah & ASU + bonus Colorado), but losing those games won't have any impact on P12-N race.  Other than Auburn, they gave Oregon their toughest match last year, and their achilles heel: U$C also can't affect their ability to represent the North.
