Pac-12 bowl projections heading into Week 10. Washington's win over Utah keeps the Huskies on track for a College Football Playoff berth.
Pac-12 bowl projections heading into Week 10. Washington’s win over Utah keeps the Huskies on track for a College Football Playoff berth.
Washington passed a huge road test on Saturday, keeping the Huskies very much in the mix for a Top 4 spot in Tuesday night’s initial College Football Playoff rankings.
Chris Petersen’s squad seemingly has a clear path to the Pac-12 championship game, as Utah was the last team on the schedule that is currently ranked. It would be shocking if an undefeated Pac-12 champion is not selected for the CFP.
However, Washington State still looms as a challenge for the Huskies, and the Cougars may sneak into the AP Top 25 this week. Wazzu survived a scare from Oregon State, but Mike Leach’s squad is talented enough to test U-Dub in the Apple Cup. However, there is no doubt about which team is the best in the Pac-12.
