It's not just beating Oregon or  UCLA - having seen Oregon St and Utah play they are playing far better than we are, and getting better as are the other teams.  Right now I wouldn't  say there are any guaranteed wins in league.
As to the point of we will get better (and I hate to use Kaylee as an example) but she is in her 4th year, and as pointed out,  has the same limited offensive skills she possessed as a freshman. nadia hasn't shown the improvement touted by Tara. Is Alexa is getting more playing time just because she is our best option - she appears to be the same player as last year
The tough schedule may have some benefits but it is really tough to run and learn your offense when you are a playing a superior defense. And I still don't know what offense we are running
