It wasn’t the ideal week that Jake Browning was expecting. Washington had a chance to add to its lackluster resume with a nice win over No. 20 USC, but the Trojans came into hostile territory and stole a win from the Huskies. Chris Petersen’s team was almost expecting to come out on top, but they just didn’t come out strong enough.

Washington will take the biggest dip of the unbeatens that fell last week, but the Huskies will still remain in prime position to pick up one of those coveted playoff spots before the year is over.

The Huskies will likely only drop to No. 7 or maybe even No. 8, but that just means that they will have to hope a couple teams ahead of them lose one more game in the regular season or the conference championships. Heck, some teams ahead of them won’t even make their own conference’s title game. The Huskies control their own destiny.

Losing to USC was a tough blow and entirely unexpected, but the Huskies could still win out and add an impressive win to their resume against Washington State to end the year. If they do that and win the conference title game, they’re back in the playoff conversation.
