Huskies Win, Drop in Rankings | Washington Huskies Football News

Washington Huskies pulled off a win in the Apple Cup but fell two spots to No. 19 in the AP rankings—because college football voters care about style points, not just scoreboard wins. Despite being favored by over 23 points, their lackluster performance let teams like Penn State and Tennessee leap ahead. Meanwhile, Michigan survived a nail-biting Hail Mary, while Washington’s comfortable victory came with missed opportunities against a still-developing Washington State squad. With an easier upcoming schedule, the Huskies can stay in the Top 25—but their true test looms in October against ranked foes USC, Indiana, and Oregon. A win is a win, but in college football, how you win matters more than ever. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
