Unless they change the rules and let the crowd take the field I don't think the "Why Texas will win" factor is very strong. I expect JC to have this one as one of the 4 wins.

Texas has a solid defense, lost to Alabama by a point and all of their 4 losses were by a TD or less, including against TCU. They held Alabama to 20 and TCU to 17. They also knocked off a very good K-State team.

In 2019, after UO stunned what looked like a powerful Utah team and went to the Rose Bowl, Utah went to the Alamo Bowl and was manhandled by a Texas team that was not nearly as good as this Texas team.

UW's offense was impressive but this defense is going to be much better than any UW has faced this year.

Texas D played great through 3Q all year long. The 4th quarter?

UW is going to win this one. Texas stud RB Robinson is unlikely to suit up. Texas QB Ewers is really good though. Gonna be fun for Washington to go up against 3 former coaches now @ Texas including Sark. Hope UW can quiet the тАШhome crowdтАЩ and lure back coach Kwiatkowski somehow.

I hope all Pac12 teams W except USC and UCLA.

This is an easy 2 hour drive down I 35 from Austin.

And people in Texas show up for football games. TX QB is a RS Frosh and cannot opt out. If TX' stud RB plays I see very little chance for UW to win this game?

BTW, ranked at 12 UW would have missed a 12 team PO in favor of Tulane. No way, except bias against the Pac, that UW at 10-2 should not be in the top 10.

Clemson with a beat down loss at ND and a home loss to USC(e) and playing in the ACC that was terrible in 2022 is ranked at 7? Come On Man!
