Washington, CFP offer Chris Petersen access to the ultimate prize
Every decision Chris Petersen has made in the past three years has led to this. From the staff he brought over to Washington, to the players he recruited, to his decision to leave Boise State, each move was manufactured with calculated precision to this endgame.

Petersen is preparing his Washington Huskies for the opportunity to play for a national championship, something that -- despite his best efforts -- eluded him when he was running the show at Boise State. Step 1 is a date with the Alabama Crimson Tide on Dec. 31 in the College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl.
