As if University of Washington football fans needed a reason to get excited about the 2018 season....
With the release of the Associated Press preseason top 25 poll on Monday, the Huskies not only earned their highest ranking since 1997 – when the Huskies were ranked No. 4 – they learned their opener against Auburn will be a clash of top 10 teams. The Huskies were ranked sixth and Auburn ninth in the poll, setting a game that will surely garner national attention when the teams play Sept. 1 in Atlanta.
Grabbing the top spot in the poll was defending national champion Alabama.
