Welcome to A Brief History of Stanford-Washington. To commemorate this weekend’s game between these division foes, I’ll be looking back at the history of this very important series. It might surprise you to hear, but of all Stanford’s PAC-12 opponents and other rivals, the game with Washington is historically the Cardinal’s most even matchup. Stanford holds a winning record against every other North division team but the Huskies, who have a slight edge in the all-time series.
The Stanford Cardinal and Washington Huskies both claim one national championship. Washington has a higher all-time winning percentage and, with their most recent PAC-12 Championship last year, they have one more conference title than Stanford.
