Washington football opponents tumble down US LBM Coaches Poll

Most of the Big Ten teams on Washington's schedule took a tumble in the Week 8 US LBM Coaches Poll.

The Washington Huskies are unlikely to appear in the top 25 of the US LBM Coaches Poll this year. However, several of their opponents experienced significant changes in the poll rankings during Week 8. The Iowa Hawkeyes, who lost to Minnesota, dropped ten spots to No. 24. Similarly, USC Trojans coach Lincoln Riley couldn't overcome the Wisconsin Badgers, resulting in a ten spot drop to No. 25 for the Trojans.

On the positive side, Indiana Hoosiers coach, following a close 13-6 victory against Michigan, saw their team rise two spots to No. 4. In the "others receiving votes" category, Nebraska Cornhuskers garnered 27 points. The Oregon Ducks, after losing to Illinois, will struggle to improve their ranking this year.
