Washington

You must be wondering why I didn’t put Washington higher up on this list, right behind Oregon.

Well, the Big Ten is in a holding position right now with accepting any more Big Ten programs, as they are waiting to see if Notre Dame will join, so it’s hard to say.

Also, apparently, there have been rumors that the governor of Washington might block Washington from joining the Big Ten if they don’t bring Washington State along with them, which I think is very stupid.

It’s obvious that Washington really wants to join, as they quickly submitted their application to join the Big Ten, but the potential issue is the governor of Washington and Washington State, which doesn’t offer much value as an institution besides their annual rivalry game, the Apple Cup, with Washington.

So, for those reasons, I have the Washington Huskies lower on this list.
