6. Washington Huskies

  • Record: 9-1
  • Remaning schedule: vs. Arizona State, at No. 22 Washington State

If there was a team everyone thought the Badgers would jump this week, it was the Washington Huskies. The Huskies have just one top 25 win this season and were pretty much dominated at home last week to a three-loss USC team.

It will be interesting to see what happens if the Huskies and Badgers win out. With this week’s rankings result, it is likely the committee would go with a one-loss Washington team over a two-loss Wisconsin squad despite having a weaker resume.

Washington will still need to beat their arch rival Washington State, who has won eight straight, on the road and then either beat Colorado, USC, or Utah in the PAC 12 championship game for this to all happen.
