Wash

Undefeated. Two great wins over Oregon, road wins over Arizona, Oregon State, and USC, and home wins over Wazzu and Boise State. In my mind, that's the best resume.

Last week: #3. Had the best win out of the three undefeated P5 teams, which was enough to push them into the #1 spot.

Probably the best all around team right now

Somehow underestimated, but yet they kept winning. Not always pretty, and far from stress-free. But the resume for Washington is sparkling.

51.6165

Washington has the highest ranked SOR and has an elite offense. They did not look consistently dominant but were the better team than Oregon in the PAC12 CG and Oregon was bailed out by some calls at the end of the first half to allow them back into the game. Penix and the offense are explosive. While the on field resume is as strong as Michigan's, they are not as strong in terms of efficiencies per FPI or SP+ and don't pass the eye test as well as Michigan does. Still a very strong contender, but I'm not sure their defense will allow them to win the whole thing.

We also deserved one final true Rose Bowl

Road Team in Pasadena is better than the alternative

Best schedule, beating Oregon twice is hella impressive.

62.5 pts.

The 2 wins over Oregon trumps Michigans 1 big win over Ohio st.

Washington has demonstrated enough over the course of the season to finish with the top seed in my book. They had the second best win in championship week

13-0 with two wins over a Oregon team I am keeping in my top 10, and wins against good Arizona, Oregon State, and Utah State, as well as USC, California, and Boise State, even if those teams ran into issues throughout the year. I personally rank Washington lower than Michigan because they haven’t been very dominate in the last few weeks, but they are a stacked team that can make some noise, and has definitely clinched a playoff spot.

Hi: 2 Low: 2 LW: 1 Avg: 2.0

undefeated p5 champion; strength of record below MICH and above FSU

(13-0) - [PLAYOFF] Washington's resume is absolutely fantastic (and arguably the best in the country), and despite some close wins, have repeatedly proven doubters wrong and did so again in the Pac-12 Championship Game with a great, aggressive win over Oregon. Quality wins: Boise State, @Arizona, Oregon [2x], Utah, @Oregon State
