Huskies Rise to No 22 in 2026 Rankings | Washington Huskies Football News

Washington Huskies crack the USA Today top 25 at No. 22 heading into 2026, riding a wave of consistent excellence since 2010, including a 1991 national title, playoff runs, and a 2023 title game appearance under Petersen and DeBoer. Now in the Big Ten, they sit at No. 8—potentially a few spots too low—thanks to a 94-43 record since 2015 and a strong foundation. With Jedd Fisch taking over, the Huskies aim to build on their 9-4 2025 season, challenge top-ranked foes like Oregon and USC, and could become the third coach to lead them to the College Football Playoff.
