The Huskies can still end up in California, Nevada, Texas or Louisiana for the postseason.
In some ways, facing No. 1-ranked Oregon to end the regular season is as good as appearing in a bowl game for the University of Washington football team, if not better. A crowd approaching 60,000 will be in attendance at Autzen Stadium, quite a bit more than what the Huskies might expect elsewhere. NBC will show this game, not cable.
An upset of the Ducks no doubt would elevate the Huskies to a better bowl, such the Holiday Bowl in San Diego, and give them a California game which otherwise won't happen for the UW for the first time with a full schedule since 1992. In 10 bowl projections , nearly half like the UW turning up at the Las Vegas Bowl and facing an SEC team, with Mississippi, Missouri and Texas A&M among possible opponents. The Huskies have never faced Ole Miss or Mizzou in football.
If the Huskies faced Memphis in the Independence Bowl, as suggested below, they would be reunited with Lee Marks, who was Kalen DeBoer's UW running backs coach the previous two seasons. If meeting Missouri in the postseason, they would run up against Derham Cato, who was Jimmy Lake's Husky tight-end coach and Kirby Moore, a graduate assistant for UW coach Chris Petersen and now the Tigers' offensive coordinator.
