Washington shot into the top 25 poll early into the season, but a two-game losing streak sent the Huskies out of the rankings in early October.
Following two uninspiring wins against California and Arizona, the Washington Huskies football schedule has presented them with an opportunity to rebuild their reputation. The Huskies will host Oregon State, which has won three straight games.
