Washington football climbs to No. 4 in latest CFP rankings

Washington football climbs to the number four spot in the latest College Football Playoff rankings.

This recognition finally validates the Washington football program’s hard work and showcases their ability to compete at an elite level.

The dynamics of the College Football Playoff rankings could shift significantly with Michigan (No. 3) and Ohio State (No. 2) facing off, potentially altering the top four. Depending on who comes out victorious, it might pave the way for the Huskies to solidify their position in the CFP even further, providing a chance to ascend higher in the rankings.

The reason the Huskies have been underrated all year because of their defense. The criticism surrounding the defense has been about conceding more points than desired against top opponents and that they wouldn’t be able to match up with teams like Georgia (No.1), Ohio State, or Michigan.

However, their resilience during critical moments has been commendable. Their ability to step up and shut down opponents in pivotal stages of the game underscores their determination and resilience. While there might have been vulnerabilities, the team’s capacity to rise to the occasion and secure victories when it matters most reflects their strength as a unit. Thank you, Kalen DeBoer.

As they prepare for the Apple Cup showdown with Washington State, the Huskies undoubtedly understand the significance of maintaining their momentum and securing a win to consolidate their position. They have already secured a Pac-12 title berth but the work is not done yet with the CFP on the line. They need to prioritize focus, determination, and a unified effort to secure their spot in the highest tier of college football, proving their worth and solidifying their place among the nation’s elite teams.
