Washington Huskies schedule includes several ranked opponents this season

The Washington Huskies are poised for a significant college football season, starting as the 17th team in the preseason Associated Press Top 25 poll. Under head coach Jedd Fisch, they will face five ranked opponents, including USC, Iowa, Penn State, Indiana, and Oregon. Their schedule strengthens their chances for College Football Playoff candidacy, as a solid performance against these teams could lead to a playoff spot. Washington, looking to improve upon a 9-4 record last season, has seen Fisch turn previous programs around in year three. The Huskies will play their first top 25 matchup against USC on October 3.
