The North champ is 5-0 in the league title game.Washingtons pr non-conference strength of schedule (Rutgers, Idaho, Portland State) could come into play when the selection committee makes its decisions, but first there is the matter of finding a way to beat a veteran, balanced Colorado squad.Ive always said that if we take care of business, everywhere Ive been, those people usually do the right thing, Huskies coach Chris Petersen said.
