List of Washington Huskies bowl games

Last updated

The Washington Huskies college football team competes as part of the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), representing the University of Washington in the Big Ten Conference (Big Ten). Since the establishment of the team in 1889, Washington has appeared in 42 bowl games (the 1938 Poi Bowl the Huskies played in is regarded as an unsanctioned bowl game). [1] Included in these games are 14 appearances in the Rose Bowl Game, one Bowl Championship Series (BCS) game appearance, and two College Football Playoff (CFP) berths. [1] [2] Through the history of the program, nine separate coaches have led the Huskies to bowl games with Don James having the most appearances with 14. With their loss in the 2024 CFP National Championship, Washington's overall bowl record stands at 21 wins, 21 losses and 1 tie (21–21–1). [1] The Pac-8 did not allow a second bowl team from the conference until 1975. [3]
