I consider myself an above-average college football fan, one that keeps tabs on most of the FBS teams to some degree and watch the game from Thursday through the late Saturday night games.
I also watch various college football-related shows and listen to podcasts to hear views other than my own that may give me insight into the game I'd otherwise not have.
I was also not ignorant to the fact that the Washington Huskies, led by quarterback Michael Penix Jr., were good. I have seen them beat Oregon twice. No Power 5 team goes through a season undefeated without being good.
