WSU’s Wild Non-Conference Stretch

WSU’s football team is diving headfirst into a brutal non-conference slate—taking on Washington, Kansas State, and Arizona before conference play begins—with the potential to instantly vault into playoff contention if they win even two of those three. Under new defensive coordinator Trent Bray, the unit is rebuilding with a mix of transfers and under-the-radar talent, including standout DBs Jalen Thomas and Jaleel Tucker, poised to shore up a top-15 defense. Even if they stumble early, a Pac-12 title with tough losses could still earn them a playoff spot—making this season one to watch.
