There’s something quite familiar about 2017 when it comes to the Washington State Cougars. Lets run down the list from 2016, shall we?
- 8-2 after 10 games: Check.
- Control their own destiny to win Pac-12 North: Check
- On the road before the Apple Cup against a recently added Pac-12 school: Check
- Headed to the Holiday Bowl: Maybe?
Yes, following their upset (by the rankings, not by Vegas) win over the Stanford Cardinal, the Cougs are somewhat on track to make another appearance in the Holiday Bowl this postseason, though the picture, despite just three weeks being left in the regular season, remains quite murky.
