Bowl Projections 2023-24: Predictions for CFP, New Year's Six After Week 8 AP Poll

Related Topics: Ohio State Buckeyes

The Washington Huskies confirmed their spot in the College Football Playoff picture with their win over the Oregon Ducks.

Washington jumped over the Oklahoma Sooners and Penn State Nittany Lions in the Week 8 AP Top 25 to No. 5. The Huskies even received two first-place votes, one more than the two teams directly in front of them.

The CFB Playoff picture will shift even more in Week 8, when the Ohio State Buckeyes host Penn State.

That is one of many games over the next six weeks that will alter the playoff projections. Washington will be a part of a few of those games, but one of them against the USC Trojans appeared to get easier after they were handed their first loss by the two-loss Notre Dame Fighting Irish on Saturday.
