Postseason Picture

As mentioned earlier, the Pac-12 Championship Game is out of reach. With an expected win total of 6-8, the Washington State Cougars are also out of the Rose Bowl, Alamo Bowl, Holiday Bowl, and Sun Bowl unless a team ahead of them collapses.

That leaves the Las Vegas Bowl and Jimmy Kimmel Los Angeles Bowl for games with Pac-12 tie-ins. The Armed Forces Bowl in Fort Worth, Texas, is also a possibility.

Looking Ahead

As mentioned earlier, Stanford, Arizona, and Arizona State are all winnable games. Next week against Utah will be very difficult. The Utes are on a high after knocking off USC. UW in the Apple Cup is the Washington State Cougars’ wild card.

Bright Future

It’s clear that head coach Jake Dickert is laying the groundwork for something good in Pullman. He has an excellent group of coordinators and coaches. Additionally, they play an exciting brand of football which will attract recruits.

He can use this season to build a consistent winner.
