Interesting that he seems to favor Stanford now (or at least sees the possibility, per the tweet Hank noted), after what seems like years of picking against us and downplaying our accomplishments. 

I've been conditioned to ignore what this guy says for years because of his seeming inability to recognize any quality teams outside the SEC, so I'll hold off on getting my hopes up until I hear smarter commentators and analysts make similar predictions.  Right now, it's hard to say that anyone in the North has earned the right to be picked over Washington, so it doesn't bother me a bit to see most folks saying we'll come in second in the North.  That's as it should be--for now.  We could win the North, and I'm sure our guys are champing at the bit to get their shot at Washington on November 10, but it's their spot right now, so we need to go take it from them. 

(With all that said, it still feels good for national folks to say nice things about us. That will never get old.)
