Can Washington Reach 10 Wins In 2026?

Can Jedd Fisch get the Washington Huskies to ten wins and back to the College Football Playoff in 2026? Locked On Huskies host Roman Tomashoff and Last Word On College Sports' Nick Lemkau deliver their record predictions for the 2026 college football season, dissecting key matchups and breakout candidates. Can Demond Williams, Jayden Limar, and a revamped defensive line turn early home-field advantage into a 4-0 September run?

The hosts break down pivotal showdowns, including a high-stakes road trip to USC in October, physical Big Ten battles with Iowa and Nebraska, and November clashes against powerhouses Indiana and Oregon. Are Washington’s young secondary and offensive line ready for defending national champion Curt Cignetti’s dynamic Indiana offense and their arch-rivals Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks?

Will the Huskies prove they belong among the Big Ten's elite?
