Washington #24 in AP

I must say that the Huskies have won me over as a fan! Of course I will always bleed purple & gold and generally pull for SEC schools over others...except BAMA (By default I root for Bama's opponent). That being said...Washington is now my favorite non-SEC team! The showed tremendous heart and potential against our beloved Tigers. Most attributed this to LSU being overrated instead of the possibility that Washington is actually a very improved/good/well coached team...i'm guilty here! Well after three weeks things are looking much better for Washington and LSU...not so much for USC! Who would have thought that an 0-12 team could turn things around so quickly? This is why college football is the greatest sport on earth (My extremely biased opinion)!

After 3 weeks, the Huskies are well deserving of a top 25 ranking! However, my question is...If Washington is 24th then how can USC be ranked 12th after yesterday's game?!!!!:huh:

 

That is why the preseasons polls suck

College football is very fluid in each year. They take last season as the same, but every 3 to 4 years every school has a new team.

 

I can say that Im on Jake Lockers bandwagon. The guy can play. Good arm, great quickness and good size for a QB. IMO hes comparable to Tebow.

 

great post. agree with you fully.

 

Minnesota almost upset #8 Cal, and we were talking about what Minnesota would be ranked if they did that, and I said #24. But after playing tough against LSU and then beating #3 USC, Washington should be a lot higher than #24... they should at least be around #17 or so. Come on, BYU beats OU, and they get to be Top 10.

 

:geaux: I posted in another thread I though the Huskies would break in at #18 or #19 and I still think that's where they should be. They're a damb good team and well deserving of a Top 25 ranking.:thumb: Locker is one hell of a QB and I saw him doing a lot of the same stuff to USC that he did to us. Made me feel a lot better seeing him do it to someone else though.:hihi: That team has a bright future in front of it and the rest of the PAC - 10 better watch out! :LSU231:

 

BYU was # 20 before that game
Washington wasn't even listed as "others receiving votes" before the SC game

 

Strong will. Can't be taught. He's fun to watch.

 

I'm a believer now as well. Locker almost willed that win all by himself. He hit some well covered receivers.

 

Those are Washington's colors too ! :thumb:
