Here's something to cheer up the Dawg Fans out there. A friend of mine compiled this during his lunch break.

Rick Neuheisel's "mythical" Northwest Championship is really a good idea, somebody should step up and produce a trophy.

Over lunch the past few days, I've been calculating the history of this fine event.

I consider a full win to be an undisputed winner when all 4 teams (Oregon Ducks, OSU Beavs, WSU Cougs, UW Huskies) play each other.

Full Wins:
Oregon: 8
WSU: 8
OSU: 12
UW: 31

Partial wins are undisputed winners when at least one of the six games isn't played that year.

Partial Wins:
OSU: 1
WSU: 6
UW: 8
Oregon: 12

Split Wins are either 3-way ties, or two-way ties in years without a head's up game. (I don't break split wins into full or partial)

OSU: 6
Oregon: 8
UW: 8
WSU: 8

That gives us total wins:

OSU: 19
WSU: 22
Oregon: 28
UW: 47

Full sweeps are years all six games are played, and someone goes 3-0.

Full Sweeps:
Oregon: 4
WSU: 5
OSU: 10
UW: 26, which includes the 5-year sweep between 1976-1979, the longest win streak in the NW Championship.

UW also got the first NW Championship, a 3-0 sweep in 1903, the first year all teams played each other. UW swept again in 1912, the second full year.
