With OSU slotted for the Rose Bowl it has been unclear who OSU would play. Following the late games last night it is now very likely OSU plays Washington in the Rose Bowl.
The Rose Bowl will take highest rated Pac12 team which is currently Washington(behind USC.) Based on tiebreakers Utah is in the conference championship but an OOC L to Florida has them behind Washington. Utah beating USC is the only way for this to change
Washington offensively will be able to exploit our weak secondary. Michael Penix threw for 4300 yards and 29 TDs this year. SP+ rankings has Washington as the 21st best team in the country and 20 point dogs to OSU. They have a terrible defense though, ranking in the 70s in the country.
