Which Big Ten Teams Are Missing from Washington’s Schedule?

Washington avoids matchups against Indiana, Iowa, Michigan State, Minnesota, Nebraska, Northwestern, Penn State, and USC. While they might not miss playing Ohio State or Michigan, the teams they don’t face still pose significant challenges. Indiana and Penn State made the College Football Playoff, Michigan State is expected to improve, and programs like Iowa, Minnesota, and Nebraska could be serious contenders. Skipping USC is certainly a relief for the Huskies.

The Pros and Cons of Washington’s Schedule

The Positives:

Washington remains in its home state until October and only plays two road games before traveling to Wisconsin in mid-November. If they can avenge last season’s loss to Washington State, a 3-0 start is possible before facing Ohio State at home. Having both Ohio State and Oregon at home is also an advantage. While trips to Michigan, Wisconsin, and UCLA won’t be easy, the Huskies have a chance if those teams haven’t made significant leaps from 2024.

The Challenges:

Michigan, Wisconsin, UCLA, and Maryland are all expected to be stronger this season. While these games are spaced out, the schedule lacks consecutive home games after the first two weeks. The timing of Washington’s bye weeks isn’t particularly beneficial one comes too early in Week 3, and the other is just before facing Wisconsin in November.

Best- and Worst-Case Scenarios

Best-Case Outcome:

Ideally, Washington reaches the Michigan game at 5-1, with a loss to Ohio State being the only setback. If they can win two of their three road games against Michigan, Wisconsin, and UCLA, while taking care of Illinois at home and pulling off a surprise win over Oregon, they could finish 10-2 and put themselves in College Football Playoff contention.

Worst-Case Outcome:

A repeat loss to Washington State could set a bad tone, followed by a defeat against Ohio State. If the team struggles on the road against Michigan, Wisconsin, and UCLA, and then loses to Oregon, they might find themselves fighting just to become bowl-eligible.

Season Projection (As of Feb. 1):

While the schedule isn’t overwhelmingly difficult, it lacks consistency, as Washington won’t have an extended stretch of home games. However, alternating home and road matchups could help the Huskies settle into a rhythm. A realistic scenario sees them going 1-2 in games against Ohio State, Michigan, and Oregon while starting 3-0, which should comfortably secure at least seven wins and bowl eligibility.

This prediction will be updated as the offseason progresses.
