The second week of the College Football Playoff (CFP) rankings has arrived. There hasn’t been much change at the top, particularly in the top-7. This includes No. 5 Washington. The Huskies, led by Michael Penix Jr., engaged in a shootout with Caleb Williams and USC last Saturday, resulting in a 52-42 victory for Washington.
However, the significance of this victory lies in the fact that it was a win over another ranked opponent, which is crucial for Washington’s aspirations of reaching the playoff.

Even if all the aforementioned scenarios were to unfold favorably for the Huskies, they still have to contend with teams ranked ahead of them, such as Ohio State, Georgia, Michigan, and Florida State. Many believe that the Michigan and Ohio State clash will eliminate one of them from the top-4. However, if both teams remain undefeated until their matchup, it will be a showdown between two top-4 teams. The committee’s decision on whether to retain both teams in the top-4, especially if the defeat is narrow, will be pivotal.
