In a preseason projection by FanSided’s John Buhler, the Washington football program is earning a spot in the College Football Playoff and will emerge victorious over Ohio State.
Washington would be a favorite over Ohio State for two reasons. One key factor would be that the Huskies’ explosive offense would likely pose a significant challenge to the Buckeye’s defense.
On the other hand, Ohio State still has uncertainty surrounding its quarterback position. This might be a vulnerability that the Huskies could exploit to their advantage to snag the victory.
Additionally, the prediction highlights Michael Penix Jr as a Heisman Trophy candidate.
