Projection: next four out

Washington’s résumé shows enough high-end wins to keep the Huskies in contention while a string of damaging losses leaves them with little margin for error. Highlights like the road win at USC, the neutral-court victory over Nevada, the road success at Washington State and the home victory over Ohio State prove they can win away from home and beat strong conference opponents. Harmful results such as the road setbacks at Nebraska and Purdue and the home losses to Michigan and Michigan State make it urgent to flip outcomes down the stretch. Upcoming opportunities at Illinois, at UCLA and at Oregon along with home dates against Oregon, Iowa, Penn State and USC give clear paths to strengthen the profile if Washington protects its home court and collects some statement road victories.
