Last week: Defeated California 66-27

This week: Against No. 20 USC (5:30 p.m., Fox)

Comment: The Huskies rose to the No. 4 spot in the College Football Playoff rankings, which I’m pretty sure means nothing right now. Perhaps Washington’s most important remaining regular season game (maybe outside of the Apple Cup) is this weekend, and as long as the Huskies win out, the Pac-12 will have a playoff representative.
