Agreed. Washington State getting better makes the home slate a little less awful, but that road slate is still just brutal. Oregon dipping a bit doesn't move the needle because Washington has gotten better. And Chip Kelly will make that UCLA game tougher than it was under Mora.
On the bright side, taking just one loss on that schedule might be enough for the playoff.
