Raise your hand if you think UW is going to the Rose Bowl

HUSKIES

All of you who thought UW would be 4-1 going into the USC game, raise your hands. Ya, well you're all lying.

Even Tyrone Willingham wasn't that optimistic. At least that's how I interpret these remarks from the Huskies' coach. And if his team is 5-1 after Saturday? It might just justify this computer ranking.

The Huskies are relatively healthy going into the game against third-ranked USC (or second if you subscribe to the coaches' poll and the computer cited above) according to a note in Bob Condotta's blog.

By the way, the USC game Saturday (12:30 p.m., FSN) is for a share of first place in the Pac-10 – for whomever wins. Now everybody who thought that would be the case after the USC game, raise your hands.

Liars.
