Washington State receives top billing entering Saturday’s 110th edition of the Apple Cup considering a win at Husky Stadium against Washington gives the Cougars to its first Pac-12 North title and sends them to the Pac-12 championship game to face South division winner USC.
The Cougars also the higher-ranked team ahead of the annual cross-state showdown for the first time since 2002.
WSU and UW each climbed one spot spot to No. 14 and 15, respectively in the The Associated Press Top 25 released Sunday morning.
Washington needed a dramatic comeback on Saturday to get past Utah 33-30 while Washington State was idle.
