I think that this UW team has a very strong chance to run the table and go 12-0 this year. The schedule this year is a bit more favorable than it was last year for the Huskies.
Statistically, the team looks very similar to 2016. It's only through four games, but the Huskies have had a comparable schedule to last year with three non-conference games and a road PAC-12 opener. You could argue the first four games this year were a bit more challenging, as Rutgers was on the road and Colorado is a much better team than Arizona.

Through four games in 2017:
I think that UW could very probably get into the college football playoff again. I think USC is very overrated, and a team I think can be beat in a conference championship game. If the Huskies do indeed go 13-0 with a PAC-12 Championship, I don't think they could realistically be denied a spot in the playoff.
Barring some kind of disaster and despite the loss of talent to the NFL draft, I think that this team has a very good chance to improve upon last year's 12-2 record.
