SEATTLE (AP) It's no longer a matter of what might be the better matchup for Washington or where the Huskies might fit in the Pac-12 hierarchy of bowl game associations.
After Washington collapsed in the second half against Arizona State on Saturday, the Huskies no longer have any wiggle room if they intend on playing beyond Thanksgiving weekend. Washington (4-6, 2-5 Pac-12) must win its final two games to become bowl eligible and play in the postseason for the sixth straight year.
And that's not a simple task. The Huskies travel to struggling Oregon State on Saturday but then must turn around on a short week and host surging Washington State in the Apple Cup on Nov.
