Washington is the top Dawg. The Huskies are the Pac-12's only remaining unbeaten team, and they certainly look like the league's most complete squad at this point. Friday's 44-6 dismantling of defending champion Stanford -- the Cardinal's worst loss since Jim Harbaugh's first season there in 2007 -- makes Washington the Pac-12's legitimate contender for the College Football Playoff.
The extent of Stanford's fall is tough to gauge. Yes, the Cardinal were humiliated. But we'll give Stanford the benefit of the doubt -- three Pac-12 titles in four years should earn at least that -- and project another resurgence from David Shaw's squad.
