Message: [QUOTE="nwhoopfan, post: 2066432, member: 7894"] I believe Oregon St. was better last year, but their record at this point in the season is nearly identical to last year, including posting the same 16-2 conference record in what is probably an overall tougher league this year. They've mitigated the loss of Hamblin, Weisner is the one they really miss. I looked at their schedule for last year, they had a few more games w/ big winning margins, but even last year had quite a few low scoring games w/ margins of 10 or less. It's their M.O. They got blown out by UCLA and Stanford on the road last year, they've actually done better against the top teams in the Pac 12 this year. The OOC was better last year w/ games against Tennessee and Notre Dame (both close losses). Not sure I'd even call Wiese the best PG in the Pac 12, let alone the entire country. Canada from UCLA is really good...and Plum should probably be considered the PG for UW. Not to take anything away from Wiese, she's really good too. It's worth noting this year's Connecticut is not last year's team. Still the best in the country, but the gap between them and everyone else is not nearly as wide. [/QUOTE]
