It was a big weekend for the Huskies. Despite a much tougher than expected win over UCLA, the Huskies managed to survive a weekend where teams like Oklahoma, Michigan State, Stanford, and LSU all managed to find defeat. The net result is a rise in the rankings.
But I think Husky fans may want to temper their enthusiasm. What we saw on Saturday was a reminder that a) it is hard to win a game in the PAC 12 no matter who the opponent and b) the Dawgs are still a long way from anything resembling a playoff path.
