After Saturday’s dominating 52-24 win over Colorado, the Washington Huskies find themselves ranked among the best 25 teams in the entire country.

The Huskies are ranked 22nd in the AP Top-25 and 24th in the USA Today/Coaches Poll.

This is the first time UW has been ranked since September 20, 2009 after upsetting USC, 16-13. Their 24th ranking didn’t last long though, as they fell out of the Top 25 when they lost at Stanford – their opponent next weekend.

The last time the Huskies were rated in both polls was in October 2003, the first year Keith Gilbertson was head coach.

UW looks to take over first place in the Pac-12 North division next weekend at Stanford.
