The Huskies were portrayed as the under-dawgs. However, those Dawgs won over the Texas Longhorns at the Sugar Bowl, 37 to 31. Texas would have had one less score if Germie Bernard hadn't dropped the ball on the five yard line that was punted to him; giving the ball back to the Longhorns. Now the Huskies face Michigan in the championship to be played Jan. 8th in Houston. To watch the Huskies' quarterback Michael Penix Jr. is like watching magic. During the Sugar Bowl, he completed 29 of 38 passes for a total of 430 yards and threw two touchdowns. No wonder he was a Heisman Trophy finalist.
TTexas rolled home, while the Huskies get to roll into Houston.
So they just beat the #4 team. The polls are subjective and alawys will be because there are 110 teams and there is no way to actually compare them until they actually play the games.
