— What if: Washington hadn't lost to Arizona State?
The result made slightly more sense at the time than it does now. The Huskies hadn't won in Tempe in 20 years and were coming off a poor showing at UCLA. In a back-and-forth affair, their defense repeatedly failed to stop ASU on third down and surrendered the winning touchdown midway through the fourth quarter.
More than one month later, with UW on a four-game winning streak and fresh off the breakthrough victory at Oregon — and with ASU in steep decline — the outcome is a head-scratcher. Had the Huskies survived, they would have one loss and stand as a surprise contender for a playoff berth.
Alamo Bowl Team: Washington (8-2/5-2) Home: Colorado Road: WSU Comment: The Huskies could end up in the Rose Bowl or plunge all the way to El Paso depending on the outcome of the Apple Cup — and whether the Pac-12 produces an at-large team for the Cotton.
