3 most winnable remaining games for Washington Huskies after losing to Rutgers
By Ethan Lee
No. 1: Washington Huskies vs. UCLA Bruins (82.3 percent chance of victory) - November 15, home
The most winnable game left on the schedule for the Washington Huskies? Well, that’s towards the end of the season as Jedd Fisch and Washington will welcome the UCLA Bruins to Seattle for UW’s final home game of the season.
Washington will host the Bruins at Alaska Airlines Field at Husky Stadium on November 15 and it seems like ESPN’s Football Power Index really likes the Huskies’ chances of coming out on top of this one. According to ESPN’s FPI, UW has a solid 82.3 percent chance of winning this game.
Given that Washington has a bye week after this matchup and the last game of the regular season is against Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks, this particular matchup against a fellow Pac-12 transplant will be pretty important for Washington’s bowl hopes.
To be completely honest, there’s a nonzero chance that Washington will need to win this game against the Bruins to secure bowl eligibility. No big deal, you know?
All that said, for all the issues that Washington has experienced this season, the Bruins have looked even worse. They currently have no identity on offense and their defense has been gashed on multiple occasions. This game is certainly winnable for Fisch and the Huskies. And a win here could have a lot of meaning for this particular Washington Husky football season.
