If calculated only by the laws of transitive property, the Washington Huskies wouldn’t stand much of a chance against Alabama.
The Crimson Tide opened their perfect season with a 52-6 drubbing of the USC Trojans in Arlington, Texas. Some 10 weeks later, USC came to Seattle and handed the Huskies their lone loss of the season, 26-13.
You don’t need a TI-83 to tell you that’s not a favorable equation for Washington.
Fortunately for the No. 4 Huskies, the matchup math isn’t quite that simple for their Dec. 31 national semifinal matchup against No. 1 Alabama in Atlanta.
