#5 Washington at California: 10:30pm (ESPN)

This could be a dangerous game for Washington if they come in unfocused after being let-down by the playoff committee on Tuesday. It’s absolutely ridiculous at Texas A&M came in over an unbeaten Washington Huskies football team. They deserved that fourth spot, but they will have to go out and prove it, yet again, on Saturday night.

Louisville definitely needs Washington to lose before the season is over and lose in their conference championship game. Could this be the night when the Huskies finally fall? Well, it doesn’t look like it, but that’s why they play the game.

California has a solid quarterback in Davis Webb who already had 29 touchdowns this season. It’s college football and sometimes teams come out on fire.

It could get interesting in the 10:30 match-up between the Huskies and Golden Bears.
