No. 3: Washington Huskies vs. USC Trojans (36.3 percent chance of victory) - November 2, home

I, for one, don’t love that the third most winnable game left for the Huskies has just a 36.3 percent chance of victory, but that’s where we are in life these days. Thankfully, Jedd Fisch and the Huskies will get to face off against Lincoln Riley and the USC Trojans at Alaska Airlines Field at Husky Stadium in Seattle on November 2. 

Generally speaking, it’s a good thing to get a home game against a tough opponent that you’re hoping to upset in a fun way.

Washington will meet up with its old Pac-12 pal and try to hand them a loss to head back to Los Angeles with. That’ll likely be easier said than done as USC quarterback Miller Moss has been fascinating to watch, but it is worth noting that the Michigan Wolverines did create a blueprint for beating USC this season.

Like Michigan, Washington happens to have a strong running game with a dominant running back talent as well as a pretty impressive defense. And it’s fair to argue that Washington’s offense is more complete than what the Wolverines bring to the table.

This will be a huge game for Fisch and the Huskies for a few reasons. If Washington happens to get this one, then a bowl is almost a certainty at this point in the season. Plus, it’s generally kinda fun for the Huskies to get a win against the Trojans.
