Washington back into top ten in national polls after Apple Cup victory over Washington State
From CBS Sports … As one would expect, Ohio State was among the biggest winners in the newest Associated Press Top 25 following its 62-39 victory over Michigan on Saturday. The Buckeyes jumped four spots up to No. 6 after playing their best game of the season. With the College Football Playoff Rankings show set for Tuesday, the upcoming week will undoubtedly focus on whether Oklahoma or Ohio State could grab the No. 4 spot on Selection Sunday. Ohio State will play No. 21 Northwestern in the Big Ten Championship Game next Saturday.
Michigan, meanwhile, dropped four spots to No. 8, allowing Georgia to move up to No. 4 and Oklahoma rounds out the top five. LSU and Washington State, two teams tied at No. 12, both fell out of the top 10 following Week 13 losses. The Cougars fell to Washington in the Apple Cup while LSU couldn’t outlast Texas A&M in a wild seven-overtime game. Washington, one of Week 13’s biggest risers, climbed back into the top 10.

McMillian and Shenault reflect on their record-setting season
From the Daily Camera … Receiver Laviska Shenault and running back Travon McMillian both eclipsed the 1,000-yard marks for the season. It’s the first time in program history that CU had a 1,000-yard rusher and receiver in the same season.
“It was fun to watch them all year long,” CU interim head coach Kurt Roper said. “I think they have a lot football left in front of them.”
McMillian rushed for 58 yards on 21 carries and finished his season with 1,009 yards.
“I just think it’s a pretty good deal,” McMillian said of the milestone. “I’m on my way (to the NFL), so this guy (Shenault) is coming back next year, so he’s going to have to do his thing again.”
Shenault, meanwhile, caught seven passes for 65 yards against the Bears.
The sophomore finished his season with 86 catches for 1,011 yards.
“It’s definitely a blessing, growing up seeing all the college receivers or NFL receivers get 1,000 yard seasons, and now I’m leading my own life of getting a 1,000-yard season,” he said.
… Shenault’s 86 catches rank third in CU history for a single-season, and his yardage total ranks ninth. Shenault’s numbers are even more impressive because he missed three full games with a toe injury.
