Huskies Rise, DeBoer Looks Up

College football’s offseason is already chaotic, with Washington Huskies surprising fans by landing at 15 in The Athletic’s early rankings—surpassing Big Ten giants like Michigan and Penn State. The twist? Former Huskies coach Kalen DeBoer, now at Alabama, is ranked 19, looking up at his old team for the first time since leaving. While The Athletic praises QB Demond Williams Jr. for reversing his transfer portal decision and highlights Washington’s top-20 defense, another poll from BrowieCFB completely ignores them—even though they return key talent and beat teams projected to finish top-25. Fans are baffled, especially with rumors of massive NIL offers to players like Williams. This wild, unpredictable season is proving to be anything but normal.
