The Longhorns are playing as well as any team in the country and going into the playoffs, one of the hallmarks of national playoff champions.
The same can be said of quarterback Quinn Ewers, who threw for more than 450 yards with four touchdowns in Saturday’s win over Oklahoma State and is beginning to fulfill the potential that made him one of the top recruits in the modern era.
Washington played close game after close game throughout the regular season, which could be considered a major advantage in this context – teams that keep finding ways to win often keep finding ways to win, you know — or a sign that the Huskies might be overmatched at this point.
But then look at the two wins against Oregon. Not taking Washington seriously as a team capable of beating Texas and then beating Alabama or Michigan for the national championship simply ignores everything the Huskies bring to the table and everything they have accomplished during a perfect regular season.
