Last week: Defeated Portland State 41-3

This week: at Arizona (Saturday, 7:30 p.m., Pac-12 Networks)

Comment: There’s little doubt that Washington is the best team Arizona will have faced this season. But the reverse is true as well. UW’s non-conference schedule was softer than Homer Simpson’s belly: Rutgers, Idaho and Portland State, all at home. I believe in the Huskies — I’m the only one of the three who voted them No. 1 — but they still have something to prove. Washington has lost its past four trips to Tucson, and only one of them (27-26 in 2014) was close.
