Washington Football: 3 bowl game possibilities for the Huskies
By Zach Bigalke
Washington football missed out on a return to the Pac-12 championship game this year. Where might the Huskies ultimately land this bowl season?
No matter what happened in the season-ending Apple Cup, Washington was going to miss out on a chance to defend its Pac-12 title. But Chris Petersen’s team still reached 10 wins, and they could be an attractive team for many bowl games this year.
A return to the College Football Playoff fell out of reach after losses on the road to Arizona State and Stanford. But depending on what happens in the Pac-12 championship between Stanford and USC, the Huskies might still be able to land in one of the other New Year’s Six bowls on the table. More likely, though, is that Washington will be courted heavily by the half-dozen bowls affiliated with the Pac-12 this season.
It wasn’t the championship season that Huskies fans had hoped for in Seattle after the high of 2016. But there are a lot of high-quality possibilities on the table, and Washington fans will get the opportunity to travel somewhere warm to see their team play a solid opponent. Keep reading for three possible destinations where Washington might land in the 2017 postseason schedule.
