Say this for Rick Neuheisel's "Northwest Championship": It might have been a simple motivational ploy with no trophy and no formal honor conferred upon the winner, but it does have a Wikipedia page.

Comments

"The Ducks, Beavers, Huskies, and Cougars first played each other in a round-robin format in the 1903 season." Since this is the first time the teams are mentioned I would say the full name of each team ex: Oregon Ducks, Oregon State Beavers, etc.

"Boise State beat Oregon in 2008 and 2009" Link to Boise State

"The next week they won at Autzen Stadium," Link to Autzen Stadium

I don't love how the visual in the inforbox looks with two block logo's and two script logo's. I'd make it so the logo styles are the same for all four (I know that OSU and Wazzu have block logo's).

Unfortunately I'm gonna have to fail this article. It is very well written but the nominator hasn't addressed the comments or contacted me at all about his status despite me leaving multiple talk page messages and it has been over a month since comments were left far longer than the 7 day reviewing period.--Newtothisedit (talk) 15:19, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Newtothisedit. This is my first GA nomination, sorry if I'm not doing this correctly. I thought you would see the changes I made in the page history.

I have made the changes listed in your comments.

The only thing I haven't done is address the logos... these are the same logos that are used at Apple Cup and Oregon–Oregon State football rivalry. I too would prefer logos to match their in-state schools, and I've been delaying responding here until I had a chance to find other options. But I haven't found anything yet.

My mistake. I suppose the logos are fine as is, that was more a of a nitpick. If you want to renominate the article I can do a quick pass after the Thanksgiving holidays. Newtothisedit (talk) 16:11, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I've re-nominated the article. PK-WIKI (talk) 18:08, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Northwest Intercollegiate Athletic Association champion

"Northwest championship" was also used to describe the champion of the Northwest Intercollegiate Athletic Association AKA "Northwest Conference".

1908 newspaper ...it is hoped that the conference will either take control of, or in some way influence the arrangement of football schedules so that the northwest championship may be definitely decided each year...
1987 Columbia Magazine: In Dobie's first season (1908), the U.W. went undefeated and won the Northwest championship.

Should perhaps be mentioned in the article.
