Washington is making the move to the Big Ten after a National Championship appearance, which is great. However, what isn't great is that they lost a lot of the pieces that made them a possibly championship-winning team, as well as the coach that led them there.

The Huskies did bring in Jedd Fisch from Arizona who had a lot of his players follow him to stay with their coach. Fisch was able to bring in okay numbers during the spring window as he lost five guys, but brought in three.

Washington might struggle to find the success they had last season, but they should still be competitive is what is now a monster conference.
