Huskies Rise to 17th in AP Poll | Washington Huskies Football News

The University of Washington football team opens the season ranked 17th in the AP poll — a solid middle-of-the-pack spot between Michigan and Penn State — after a nine-win campaign last year and with two-thirds of starters returning. New coach Jedd Fisch is beefing up the offensive line with recruits like John Mills and Kodi Greene, while bringing back lightning-quick QB Demond Williams Jr. and a formidable linebacker corps led by Jacob Manu. With top-ranked opponents looming — including No. 6 Indiana and No. 2 Oregon — and five Top 25 foes on tap, the Huskies must rise to the occasion. Their home-heavy early schedule offers a chance to go undefeated in first ten games. As one of only eight Big Ten teams ranked, Washington’s 17th spot signals a major turnaround and renewed national buzz for the program.
