The Washington State Associated Press has released the Week 9 football poll results, and it’s clear that the state’s teams are continuing to make a strong impression on the national stage.
The top spot in the poll went to the University of Washington, who have been consistently ranked in the top 25 nationally throughout the season. The Huskies have gone 8-1 so far this season, with their only loss coming against Oregon in Week 5. They have since bounced back with wins over Stanford, Arizona, and California, and are currently ranked #14 in the nation.
The Washington State Cougars also made a strong showing in the poll, coming in at #25. The Cougars have had an impressive season, going 7-2 and winning their last four games. They have been led by quarterback Anthony Gordon, who has thrown for over 3,000 yards and 28 touchdowns this season.
The other teams in the poll include Eastern Washington at #19, Central Washington at #20, and Western Washington at #24. Eastern Washington has had a solid season, going 7-2 and winning their last four games. Central Washington has also had a good year, going 6-3 and winning their last three games. Western Washington has been inconsistent this season, going 4-5 overall.
It’s clear that Washington State is making a strong impression on the national stage this season. With three teams in the top 25 and several more on the cusp of making it, it looks like the state will continue to be a force to be reckoned with in college football.
