Last week: Defeated Utah 31-24
This week: at Cal (Saturday, 7:30 p.m., ESPN)
Comment: No. 5? Behind one-loss Texas A&M? That’s the price you pay for consuming a steady diet of cupcakes before the start of league play. Washington’s BEST non-conference opponent was Rutgers, which is 2-6, 0-5 in the Big Ten, and has a minus-150 point differential. The good news, if you want to call it that, is that the Huskies almost certainly will make the College Football Playoff if they win out. If they don’t, the Pac-12 probably will be shut out of the CFP again.
