UW better win this.  We need one highly ranked opponent when we play them this year and we're starting to run out of candidates.

Why?  We don't need anything other than to win our games.  Chances are we would play a ranked team in the Pac-12 championship anyways.  But nobody is going to ding us for our strength of schedule when we play 9 conference games and (hopefully) a conference championship, and schedule Votre Dame and a Power-5 team as OOC teams.

That's true.  But it'd be nice to have a signature victory over a top 10 to point at.  Though even if they win UW and Tennessee might jump in anyways.
