7. Washington


Want to re-center your program in a hurry? Get yourself a head coach and a quarterback. Washington got both in Kalen DeBoer, who brought in Michael Penix, Jr., from Indiana, who promptly led the nation in passing -- by nearly 20 yards per game.

After going 4-8 a year ago, Washington jumped to 11-2, beat Oregon, beat Texas in the Alamo Bowl, and will finish on the cusp of the AP Top 10.

Fuck “the cusp” of the top 10. If UW isn’t IN the top 10 then stop ranking teams because the metrics are dog shit.

Wilner having UW at 5 is pretty shocking.

11. Washington Huskies

2022 record: 11-2, 7-2 Pac-12

Expected returning starters: 7 offense, 7 defense, 1 special teams

Expected key losses: G Jaxson Kirkland, C Corey Luciano, G Henry Bainivalu, RB Wayne Taulapapa, DE Jeremiah Martin, LB Cam Bright, S Alex Cook

Expected key additions: WR Germie Bernard, DE Zach Durfee, LB Ralen Goforth, TE Josh Cuevas, DE Joe Moore, RB Daniyel Ngata, CB Jabar Muhammad, CB Caleb Presley, ATH Rashid Williams

Outlook: Kalen DeBoer, who won three NAIA national championships at the University of Sioux Falls, didn't need long to completely transform Washington's program. After going 4-8 in 2021, the Huskies finished 11-2 this past season. They beat rivals Oregon and Washington State and four ranked opponents. With quarterback Michael Penix Jr. deciding to come back, along with a handful of other underclassmen who were eligible for the NFL draft, Washington might be a CFP sleeper in 2023. Penix Jr. flourished in DeBoer's offense, throwing for 4,641 yards with 31 touchdowns. The Huskies will have to rebuild their interior offensive line, but most of its skill players are expected back. Leading tackler Cook and Bright are key losses on defense.
