We’ll start our preview of Washington’s upcoming season with breaking news: Winning is hard. Not winning on any given Saturday — winning most Saturdays. Week after week. Season after season. So much can go sideways, from injuries and standard malfunctions to officiating gaffes and bad bounces, that the margin of error for high-level success is thin as the seam on the ball. Washington has experienced high-level success recently, with three consecutive seasons of 10+ victories. That’s hard, but you know what’s harder: Four consecutive seasons of 10+ victories. The Hotline’s crack research staff hit books and found that only nine Power Five programs have won 10+ games in four consecutive seasons at any point in the past decade. You can guess five, I’m sure: Alabama, Oklahoma, LSU, Clemson and Ohio State. The other four are Wisconsin, Florida State, Oregon and Stanford. That’s nine out of 65. The Huskies are on the brink of joining the club after posting consecutive 12-, 10- and 10-win seasons under Chris Petersen. The issue, from our vantage point, isn’t whether UW can do it again in 2019.
