Washington-USC, Michael Penix Jr. vs. Caleb Wiliams, Pac-12 Shootout Proves Huskies Belong in CFB Playoff Convo
Five undefeated title contenders entered Week 10, and five remain. One of those five is screaming for attention as Washington is still on the outside looking in. The Huskies hung 52 points on USC while Michael Penix Jr. got the win over reigning Heisman champ, Caleb Williams. Williams went viral for his emotional post-game actions and quotes, but Washington (9-0) still needs to prove it to the CFB Playoff committee. USC, on the other hand, is 7-3 and on the brink of spiraling out of the top-25 with Williams still projected as the No. 1 overall pick in next year\’s NFL Draft.
Elsewhere across college football, Georgia and Ohio State stayed perfect despite some adversity, and Michigan rolled Purdue, but the Wolverines are still the talk of the week as coaches call for action after the sign-stealing scandal. We’ll have a new set of CFB Rankings tomorrow night.
