I hate to do power rankings/Top 25s before the final draft early declaration deadline, but I’ll update these if anything drastic happens with declarations in the next 10 days.
- Washington - A lot of people are going to see the experience Washington loses and peg them down to second or third in their power rankings, but it’s a dated approach. Modern college football is much more about coaching, momentum, scheme, and overall talent (all of which the Huskies have in spades) than building up experience with the same personnel. The Huskies have a good thing going and have the talent to plug in to keep themselves at the top of the conference.
