Huskies Win But Rankings Drop | Washington Huskies Football News

The Huskies stunned their rivals with a 24-10 Apple Cup win, but the celebration was tempered by self-criticism—penalties and a sluggish offense left them feeling they fell short. Despite the victory, Washington dropped two spots in the AP Top 25 to No. 19, overtaken by Penn State, SMU, and Tennessee. Inside the Big Ten, they now sit sixth, trailing Ohio State, Indiana, Oregon, USC, and Penn State. But there’s hope: wins over Utah State and Eastern Washington this weekend could set them up for a strong conference push. The real litmus test? Handling ranked foes like USC and Iowa—if they rise to the occasion, their ranking will follow. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
