A charitable way of looking at it is that it takes a good team to play poorly and still win the game.

Well, except this isn’t the first time we’ve played poorly this year.  I mean, bad teams don’t win 6 games (some of them blowouts against decent teams), but this performance would be more than 3 standard deviations below what a “good team” ought to do.  laying an egg like that once is improbable, but it happens (see Uw, Clemson, and WSU last week).  Doing it twice in a season suggests at best you are inconsistent or not so good.

I think the point estimate on the number of wins for the rest of the season is 1n 0 is a distinct possibility.  Our remaining schedule consists of three good to very good teams, and one ok team.  We should win Big game, but we will not if we have anything approaching this stinking pile of garbage.


Love better get better quickly.

I said it was a charitable way. There are, as you point out, certainly plenty of other ways to look at it.
I certainly agree if Love can't play against Wazzu and the Huskies, our chances of pulling out victories are slim at best.
