Picks UW 4th in the North
4. Washington HuskiesProjected finish: 6-6
Win total range: 4-8 to 8-4
Chance to win Pac-12: 0 percent
The season hinges on three key games in the first six weeks -- home against Boise State on Aug. 31, at Stanford on Oct. 5 and home against Oregon on Oct. 12. Our projection model gives Washington a 65 percent chance of losing all three games. Head coach Steve Sarkisian has brought the program back to respectability, but the Huskies haven't been able to break through and make much of a run in the conference race. And last season marked a significant regression on offense, the primary culprit in the Huskies' sluggish start. Washington produced an explosive drive -- those that average at least 10 yards per play -- on only 8 percent of its possessions (110th nationally), and a methodical drive -- those that run 10 or more plays -- on only 10 percent of its possessions (also 110th), the two primary ways in which offenses establish an identity. That lack of efficiency was especially costly, given that Washington ranked No. 7 nationally in starting field position.
We all know this guy is a mediocre head coach.....he sucks ass a coordinator.
