Looking into it more, I think you are right. The account is verified and was RT'd multiple times by other verified college football folks, but it looks like it's a satire account. My apologies.

If Peterson really said that then I think he needs to see a doctor as it is completely unlike him.
I think this was written by a Big 10 homer.
If the Huskies are undercovered in the media - just win.
A storied history of being average or slightly above? Does that pertain to all Top 20-25 all time teams as well? Teams that have previously won national titles? They were well below average for too long this century but their history is anything but.
No Husky should have an issue with primetime games in the evening. It's having zero day games scheduled that was the problem (ESPN talking heads glossed over that). Until last weekend vs Ucla, the earliest kickoff for UW was 7pm and they did not play a single day game. I think that concern is legitimate. They probably won't have another day game until the Apple Cup. It doesn't matter because they have no control over it.
Working on weekends? Who doesn't. The West Coast and Seattle is now known for tech. It used to be logging and such but only a midwest homer is going to claim Seattle is blue-collar. There are lots of blue collar airline positions but really? Reaching much?
This sounds like it was written by a bitter midwest Big 10 fan who is purposely trying to smear UW and make them look whiny.
If Coach Peterson said it, then I will be the first to say I'm very disappointed as I've never heard him sound so poor and perhaps unhinged.

No apologies needed.
If he wrote it then it deserves to be slammed. I don't like it when the media make fun of the Pac is all. I no longer pay attention to national narratives for that reason.
I must have glossed over a few parts, but after reading it again, it is clearly satire.
Mtn get a hold of your keyboard?

Oh, whoops. I didn’t look at the standings and for some reason was thinking Washington states big win was over Washington. Which doesn’t make sense as it’s always their last game and I remember Washington state beating USC. Oh well. They still don’t deserve to gripe, it’s the first poll.
Well written satire
.I had to read it a few times to make sense of it. There was a narrative earlier (October) from ESPN that tried to make UW sound whiny so this seemed to fit right in with that. If you don't follow Peterson's press conferences or listen closely to what he says, it would be very easy to think this was real. The author did a good job of punking UW IMO.

It's ok, you're still close to - or even above - average as a poster.
ND is screwed. They can win out and the chances they get in are still small. If there are at least 4 P5 Conference champions with one loss or less, they will leapfrog ND to get into the playoff. The CFP loves conference champions and loves having that extra game on the resume.
Gonna love it when they are 11-1 and and on the outside looking in due to being an independent.

ND won't be left out at 11-1. Book it.
If they're 11-1, no one will have nearly the quality of wins ND has (or as good of a loss except for maybe Penn State's loss at OSU).

Agreed. They have a great SOS and at the moment the best loss as well.
They are already in the final 4 with the first rankings. They probably have a top 10 Miami and top 25 Stanford left. Unfortunately I don't see a way they would be left out.
Navy could be ranked when they play, too. 5-2 with Temple this week and SMU next week. Only losses are to ranked teams (Memphis & UCF), and they played them close.
Only 5/12 teams that have been ranked in the top 4 of the initial CFP ranking the past 3 years have actually ended up in the playoff. A&M was 7-1 and ranked #4 this time last year and ended up unranked. In 2014, Auburn, Ole Miss and Miss State were all in the top 4 in the initial ranking and all ended up outside with multiple losses each.
I'm fine with them for now, alot of football to go. It should clear up a bit. Also, I do think we will have a 2 loss team eventually. I just don't know about this year.
Doesn’t matter. The poll is point in time, not a season ending projection.
They have a great resume, but the committee places massive emphasis on a 13th data point that is also a championship against a quality opponent. See TCU’s CFP ranking before and after conference championship weekend in the first year of the playoffs.
The committee values the conference championships as the biggest differentiation in final rankings. ND is done, unless there are 3 or less conference champions with one loss or less.
It is ONE of the differentiations in the final rankings, not a make or break standard. TCU needed another quality win that season because the Big 12 was down. Notre Dame has a schedule which is an asset.

We will see. Quality CCG win >>>>>>>> Quality win in the committee’s eyes.
Too much football to still be played to really worry at this point. The scenario is unlikely to occur.
The disturbing part of this for me is that the highest ranked PAC 12 team is 12th. There are three Big 12 teams ahead of Washington.
It’s deserved though. Oklahoma has beaten Ohio State and lost to #14 Iowa State. TCU beat Oklahoma State and lost to Iowa State. Oklahoma State doesn’t have a signature win but their only loss was to TCU. Washington has no good wins and lost to mediocre ASU.
Bedlam will settle that argument this weekend though.
Didn't Oklahoma make it two years ago with one loss and no conference Championship game?
OSU last year
It is deserved. No question. I’ve never been one to say that the Pac 12 is better football than our old conference. This year it seems obvious.
