(Marcio Jose Sanchez/Associated Press)The thought of Washington repeating last year’s run to the College Football Playoff wasn’t all that outlandish entering Friday night’s game at Stanford. But Washington on Friday lost to Stanford, 30-22, and the playoff almost certainly isn’t going to happen for the Huskies or anyone else in the Pac-12. If the Trojans beat the two mediocre teams left on their schedule (Colorado, UCLA) and then defeat Washington, Washington State or Stanford in the conference title game, they could have a shot. Stanford became the first team to score 30 points on Washington’s defense — which entered the game second nationally in points allowed per game — in 24 games. “They just played their game better than we played our game,” Washington Coach Chris Petersen said, via the Seattle Times.
