I'd put Washington at 7-5 (worse case,) to 9-3 next year.

L's - @Oregon @PSU, TTUN

Toss Up's - @Iowa, USC

W's - Weber, Eastern, WSU, NW, @Rutger, @Ind, UCLA

Rutgers is going to be pretty solid next year.  I would not count them as an automatic win.

Way-too-early rankings from Yardbarker have Washington as high as #12. Which I think is ridiculous. Their assessment:

“With coach Kalen DeBoer bolting for Alabama, several Huskies entering the transfer portal as a result and star receiver Rome Odunze and running back Dillon Johnson declaring for the NFL Draft, everything — and seemingly everybody — is up in the air at Washington. Now, regardless what the Huskies look like come August, and with new hot-shot coach Jedd Fisch in charge, they're probably good enough to rate among the top half of the new-look Big Ten, but maybe too early to predict a CFP repeat.”

I don’t know how a program can lose so much — in Washington’s case coaching and especially all the departing star power on offense — and be considered Top 25. Much less #12. Washington is too unproven across the roster to expect much. This is definitely a case of a team generating too much hype based on their recent success.

My projection: 6-6

3-1 or 4-0: Weber State, Eastern Mich, Washington State, Northwestern

1-3: @Rutgers, Michigan, @Iowa, @Indiana

2-2 or 1-3: USC, @Penn State, UCLA, @Oregon
