UW Huskies a CFP lock after 'upset' Pac-12 title win

Going into Friday’s Pac-12 Championship, the UW Huskies were the No. 3 team in the CFP rankings, owned a perfect 12-0 record on the season, and already had a win under their belt against their opponent.

About the only thing the Huskies didn’t have in their favor was, curiously, the odds. Somehow, despite the Huskies’ strong résumé as one of four undefeated teams in the country, No. 5 Oregon entered the conference title game as the favorite by nearly 10 points.

Well, maybe that was actually just one more thing in the Huskies’ favor, who played with a chip on their shoulder for a shocking (apparently) 34-31 win over the Ducks at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Just call them the Under-Dawgs – only after you call them the Pac-12 champions and a virtual lock for the College Football Playoff, of course.

Pennix played big in meaningful games, not by stat piling on playing deep into blowouts of bad teams.

The third down throw with two minutes to seal the game was more meaningful than anything the LSU QB did all season.

No dog on the fight (although any time Phil Knight money gets wasted is a good time), it was an exciting game to listen to while traveling.
