On3 including zero Huskies in the top-100 players is all-time snub and bias moment

Remember when Jedd Fisch was seen strolling the sidelines of practice with a "Where's Washington?" shirt on? It feels like Fisch may have found his new posterboard material when On3.com's latest top-100 players ranking. There are literally 100 players listed in this list, and it's littered with all the usual teams and biases. Of course, if you are getting biased, you will snub the Huskies and that's exactly what happened.

The Washington Huskies have ZERO players in the top-100 On3.com rankings. The list is a joke for that reason alone, but if you look closely, it's also a joke in so many other ways. It's one of those lists where you have to ask, "Were you trying to rage-bait me?" And this is true for so many fanbases. Well, it worked; here we are.

What would Demond Williams Jr. be ranked if he was actually stolen by Lane Kiffin and LSU?

Let's ask the most obvious rage-bait question that On3 provoked: What would Demond Williams Jr. be ranked if he were actually stolen by LSU? Top-15? You would think, as you see Sam Leavitt sitting at No. 8, this is an all-time bias moment. Demond Williams is clearly a top-100 player, no, check that, he's a top-20 player...at least.

What about John Mills? He's also one of the best offensive linemen in the game, and NFL Scouts are already all over him. Is he not a top-100 player? Ridiculous. Throw Landen Hatchett in this list, too. There are others we could argue too.

It's hard to fathom a list where not one Husky makes it when you are considering 100 players. However, that's where the clear bias weighs in. It may not be East Coast bias, as Oregon has a good amount in this list, but it's definitely some sort of bias.

Speaking of Oregon, one fantastic college football tradition is Dan Lanning having talented players and then not doing much with them in the postseason. This year could be another great example of this, as the list has a bunch of Oregon players.

At the end of the day, Washington should staple this up in the locker room with a "Where's Washington?" and use it as a chip all season to prove all the doubters wrong. To showcase that not only does UW have one top-100 player, but plenty of them. This is the year of the Dawgs.
