5. Washington
Anyone ready for another purple-clad Playoff crasher? The Huskies could have a chance. In the final analysis, Kalen DeBoer was the best first-year coach not named Sonny Dykes. He now has the chance for a huge second season. Quarterback Michael Penix Jr., who finished in the top 10 in the Heisman Trophy voting, is coming back, as are most of his prime receiving targets. The Huskies have done some work in the transfer portal that should bolster the defense, particularly Oklahoma State defensive back Jabbar Muhammad. In terms of the schedule, there will be a trip to USC, but Oregon must come to Seattle. We’ll see whether Michigan State has recovered sufficiently to provide a test in East Lansing early.
Love the pub ... #5?
Guess i'll have to work on my recent PTSD ... maybe if this was a continuation of the early 90's or circa Vea/Petersen ... I have a hard time seeing Washington ranked higher than Ohio State and Alabama ... but fuck yeah.

2019: Washington 2.0 led by Eason (We lose to Cal in a 6 hour monsoon and plummet to the Vegas Bowl as Pete gives up.)
2021: Defending North Champs w/ Lake ready to take Petersen's guys to the next level (We lose to Montana and Coug, long live St. Ruperake)
I'm not liking this hype.
...if we get 2-3 seed, do we get Rose? So if we get 1 seed, we dont?
But I am assuming some SEC team or tOSU/Michigan will get the 1 seed and take the Sugar since it is closer. Which sends the #4 team to the Sugar as their opponent. (I mean Georgia's schedule is 11 cupcakes, Tennessee and the SEC champ game. It will be a shock if they are not 13-0 and the #1 seed, and if they lose in the SEC Champ game the winner of that will be the #1)
That forces #2 vs #3 in the Rose. So just get to #3.
