Washington football: Updated game-by-game predictions for 2020
Scouting Report. Oct. 31. Pick Analysis. Eugene (Ore.). Oregon Ducks. 5. player. 820
In what has been the two premier teams in the conference the past two seasons, the winner of this game will have the inside track to the North division title and a spot in the Pac-12 championship game and with how most conferences are going toe be conference only, a spot in the playoff could be up for grabs.
The last two games have been classics and expect another one in one of the most underrated rivalries in the country.
Oregon enters the season with a lot of momentum and are thought to be by many the team to beat in the Pac-12 and a potential contender for the College Football Playoff. The Ducks will have quarterback questions themselves after Justin Herbert went to the NFL draft, but Oregon has one of the best defenses in the country and one of the best running games in the conference.
Expect a hard-fought game that comes down to the wire, but I think Oregon is in for a special season.
Final Score: Washington 27, Oregon 34 (3-2)
Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 6. player. Nov. 6. Seattle (Wash.). Colorado Buffaloes. 857
Washington will need to rebound quickly after a tough loss to arch-rival Oregon and they will welcome a rebuilding Colorado program that will have a new head coach, quarterback and will be without do it all wide receiver Laviska Shenault.
Former UCLA coach Karl Dorell will be at the helm for the Buffaloes and he at least has some familiarity with the conference, even though he was not Colorado fans first choice for coach right after the sudden departure of former coach Mel Tucker.
This could be a rough first season for Dorrell and the Buffaloes. There are not many proven playmakers on the team and that could make for a very tough first season. Washington wins big here.
Final Score: Washington 42, Colorado 14 (4-2)
