SEA > SFO > SYD connection?

We (me and the Mrs.) are flying from Seattle to Sydney (Australia) tomorrow night (UA1157 > UA863), connecting in SFO, all on UA in Business.
If it goes by the book, we have 2:15 to make the connection there in SFO. We will have checked bags.

I'm assuming we should be fine unless there's an extraordinary delay on the first leg out of SEA (not unprecedented, but then again that 747 to SYD is probably delayed outbound a lot more often). OTOH, it's an award trip, so I sure would hate to miss the connection to that SFO>SYD leg.

Any tips/suggestions for ensuring we get from our domestic arrival gate to the international departure one with minimal delay?

The weather forecast I'm seeing for SFO looks like fog should not be an issue for arrivals around 8:30 Tuesday night. Anything else I should be concerned about (or should I start worrying about getting my preferred dinner on the trans-pac )?

Thanks.
