Huskies ranked in preseason coaches poll for the fourth consecutive year

College football is just a few weeks away, which means it's time for the preseason polls to start rolling out.

Though the Washington Huskies haven't named a starting quarterback for the 2019 season, the Dawgs came in at No. 12 in the preseason coaches poll – and indication of the respect that the program has built up during Chris Petersen's tenure. UW has now made the preseason top-25 for four consecutive years.

Joining them from the Pac-12 are Oregon, Utah, Washington State and Stanford. That number represents a sharp jump from the 2018 preseason, which saw only Washington and Stanford make the poll. On the one hand, the increased presence is great for the conference: being ranked early means you just have to avoid bad losses. Conversely though, if the Pac-12's teams stumble and fall out early, that will likely be used as further proof that they just can't hang with the rest of the Power 5.
