Pac-12 championship is UW vs. Colorado. I was halfway hoping for a UW-USC rematch.

Me too.
As for Florida, McElwain needs to find a way to beat FSU or he can head on down the road. I can't keep putting up with these blowouts.

Here's the way I see it. Either Franks or Trask (or somebody else) better be good next year--and Lord knows the Gators are due--because Mac was brought in to get the QB position right. Otherwise, he needs to go. Unless UF still manages to win the East again without a good QB, which seems unlikely.

I sifted through some McElwain interviews before and after the FSU game. He needs to go. He's not the man to coach at Florida.

McElwain can coach and recruit. He turned Colorado State around stunningly fast. Good news for CSU is that they stomped San Diego State on Saturday.
Very disappointed about the opportunities the Cougs left on the field in the Apple Cup. Zero points from two drives that ended on the 1-yard line, a number of dropped passes, and very few yards run after catches. Washington won it fairly with great plays, and frankly that didn't surprise me. They're a very strong team.

In Fort Collins, yes.
In Gainesville, not so much.
Maybe I'm a little hard on the recruiting angle, but not the coaching one.
Heck man, McElwain lost a commit to Penn State.

And Penn State is one of the really fine institutions, located in a beautiful area, not in a metro area, with a climate many people (including me) vastly prefer to Florida. They're also having a very good year in football and are competitive in their conference. Their players get plenty of TV time. Not sure why anyone would want to go there....
I didn't mean to infer Penn State is inferior. I grew up 45 minutes from State College, so I am well aware of the region and institution that is PSU.
I'm not so sure the climate is vastly superior, but I can understand why some people prefer it.
The kid Florida lost was from New Jersey, so it's not like he lost a local recruit. Still, it can't be ignored over and over.

I don't blame you for being disappointed. The dropped passes were real killers. The rest may or may not have been because Washington is that good, but those dropped passes were just gifts from the Cougars to the Huskies.
I had a beer in your honor at halftime, just because.
