What are your thoughts on some sportswriters putting UW as contenders in the CFB Playoff race? -Lockerstalker 46

They’re an undefeated team from a power conference that is in the top-15 of the AP Poll one-third of the way through the season. Their name kind of has to be brought up as a fringe contender even if not a serious one. ESPN has their playoff predictor based on simulations using FPI and each team’s remaining schedule and they have UW making the CFP 3.8% of the time. That’s probably slightly high but not too far off.
