Last year was a painful season of transition for the Washington Huskies. Head coach Jedd Fisch arrived to take over a program that made the 2023-24 national championship game. Following the departure of head coach Kalen DeBoer and key players, Fisch never had a chance. Yet he did produce a College Football Betting bowl campaign. Now, expectations are higher for Washington. And the Huskies have a chance to step out with a home game against the defending national champion Ohio State Buckeyes. Ohio State is loaded as ever and will be in the hunt for a repeat.
