## Resource

Washington Huskies crack the preseason top 25 at No. 25, positioning them as the Big Ten’s seventh-best team — behind Ohio State, Oregon, and Michigan. Their schedule is brutal: road clashes with USC and Nebraska, a home date against defending champs Indiana, and hosting Iowa — ranked just outside the top 25. Defense looks poised for a leap under Coach Ryan Walters, especially with a strong rushing defense and improved game-critical play. Offensively, the line is a strength led by John Mills and Drew Azzopardi, but questions linger at QB with Demond Williams Jr. needing to deliver, and replacing departed playmakers. Can they rise to the occasion in a stacked Big Ten?
