Washington are riding a six-game win streak that saw them finish the regular season with a 10-2 record.

The Huskies knocked off #11 Michigan State, 39-28, as part of a four-game win streak to start the season.

They then dropped back-to-back games to UCLA, 40-32, and Arizona State, 45-38, to fall to 4-2.

Washington’s response was an emphatic one though, as they went on to win each of their next six games.

This run included a 24-21 win against #24 Oregon State and a 37-34 upset of #6 Oregon on the road.

The Huskies then closed out with a couple of 50-point showings as they blew out Colorado 54-7 and won 51-33 at Washington State.

Texas Form

Texas booked another Alamo Bowl appearance by compiling an 8-4 record in the regular season.

The Longhorns ran #1 Alabama close in a 20-19 defeat early in the season, and despite that loss they were boosted into the rankings.

They would spend the rest of the season going in and out of the rankings while going 1-2 against ranked opponents.

Texas lost 41-34 at #11 Oklahoma State, but bounced back a fortnight later to down #13 Kansas State 34-27.

The Longhorns failed to back that up as they then lost 17-10 at home to #4 TCU, but they did hit back immediately to win their final two regular season games.

They stormed to a 55-14 success at Kansas before returning home to record a 38-27 win against Baylor.
