You can’t hold Washington’s non-conference schedule against them when the SEC plays cup cakes in November. That’s an extra bye week, IMO. Pac-12 does not do that.

The SEC, ACC and the Big-10 all play four non-conference games, while the Pac-12 plays only three. They usually play one decent team and three cupcakes. Alabama, for example, played Kent State, Chatanooga and Western Kentucky.

Bama's non-conference schedule included USC.
At least the OSU vs Clemson game ought to be worth watching. Roll Tide

Don't forget that the Pac-12 plays nine conference games, the SEC eight. So SEC teams need to schedule two P5 out-of-conference games to match the total of P5 schools that the Pac-12 teams typically play.
Out-of-conference games are typically scheduled several years in advance. Washington scheduled Rutgers while Rutgers was having a nice run and the future looked pretty bright for them.

Don’t be ridiculous. I’m from Seattle and went to Stanford, and even I’m willing to admit that virtually the entire PAC 12 conference schedule is nothing but cupcakes. Alabama plays in a conference that cannibalizes itself every year by playing within the conference. Most SEC teams would beat Washington. Hell, even Kentucky, which is so weak in the SEC that people forget it’s in the conference, beat Louisville. While the SEC is currently the strongest conference, I think the future may belong to the Big 10. Why? I see a number of great younger coaches in the Big Ten, and the quality of the coaches determines the long term strength of the conference. I don’t see the same thing in the SEC, and that future may arrive sooner than people think. BTW, Saban played for Don James at Toledo and began his coaching career under James. You’d have to be an old Huskies fan to know that bit of trivia.
