Respected college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit’s comments on Tuesday may offer Washington fans a welcome shift in perspective as the Huskies try to recalibrate its expectations for the remainder of the 2025 season.
In an X post supporting Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz’s broader message about the pressures of the College Football Playoff era, Herbstreit urged fans to see value beyond whether their team finishes inside the top 12.
So true. Great to have the CFP obviously as a goal but the season isn’t over if that’s out of reach.
People that view it this way aren’t being realistic or fair to the players or coaches.
