With less than a week remaining before the all-important final College Football Playoff ranking, the Washington Huskies received some good news and a cryptic warning about their playoff chances.
First the good news, UW moved up one spot in the CFP committee rankings to No. 4 after crushing cross-state rival Washington State in last week’s Apple Cup to claim the Pac-12 North title.
It’s the highest position in the rankings and a return the spot Washington held in Week 11 before losing to USC three weeks ago and dropping to sixth. After two blowout wins, including a 44-18 victory over Arizona State, the Huskies are back among the top four in the country.
