I think that WSU will lose twice more, and Stanford has the talent to win out. I just worry about our lack of depth at some positions. The Holiday Bowl would not be a bad consolation prize, however.

I wouldn't complain if they did, but the Cougs aren't going to lose twice more. You can take that to the bank.

I'm hoping Wazzu loses at Colorado and vs. the Eskimo Dogs. We win out and get another shot at Utah.

You better hope Gardner Minshew misses the bus to the game on those days then.
Seriously, hope you are right. In the world of college football, just about anything can happen.

I’ll take any losses by Wazzu! But if we’re hoping and dreaming, start by hoping Cal beats them on Sat.  
1) Last season, they beat an 8th-ranked, 6-0 Wazzu team 37-3 in a shocker.  
2) Defense travels. Cal is particularly good against the pass. 
3) The forecast calls for rain showers.  
4) Patrick Laird.  
5) If Cal and Stanford win their next 2 games (admittedly unlikely in Cal’s case), Big Game will be even more important, if that’s possible.  
6) Colorado is in the South. If we end up in a 3-way tie, Wazzu losing to them doesn’t help as much as their losing to Cal.  
7) Colorado is fading big-time and just lost to Oregon State at home. This is perhaps the best reason not to pin your hopes to the Buffaloes.  

I don’t relish rooting for Cal, but you do what you gotta do.
