The logic of Matt Calkins: If Alabama hadn't outscored UW, the Huskies would have won. I've seen sports columnists don the colors and cheerleader skirts of the team they cover, but this guy is special.
The truth is Washington weaseled its way into the college football playoff by winning a conference in a down year, by defeating teams marred by quarterback injuries. It was the perfect purple storm for a team that finished with a losing Pac-12 record in 2015 (4-5) and barely finished at .500 but set up its run with patsy non-conference foes.
