2. Washington’s tough schedule to finish the season

The Huskies dropped their first game of the season to USC last weekend, which dropped them out of the top four teams. It was interesting that the committee still had them at number six, which showed that they still believe in the Huskies’ ability to get into the top four with a conference championship.

That could mean bad news for Louisville, but I don’t think they will win the rest of their games. If they get one more loss, then season over for Washington.

The Huskies still have to play Arizona State, at #22 Washington State, then either #10 Colorado, #12 Utah, or #13 USC in the conference championship.

Good luck Washington, but that will be too much for that Huskies team to handle.
