Teams 2000 NCAA Division I-A football season Washington Huskies 2000 Washington Huskies football team In the 2000 season, the Huskies shared the Pacific-10 Conference title with Oregon and Oregon State. Washington had given Oregon State their only defeat of the year 33-30. Oregon gave Washington their only defeat of the year 23-16. Oregon State beat Oregon in the 2000 Civil War game 23-13. Ultimately, it was a 23-37 loss at Wisconsin by Oregon earlier in the season that decided the Rose Bowl representative. With two losses, by the multiple team tie rules Oregon was out of the running. This left Oregon State and Washington, and the Huskies won the head-to-head matchup with the Beavers. Washington, Oregon State, and Oregon were ranked fourth, fifth, and ninth, respectively, in the final regular season AP football poll. It was the fourteenth Rose Bowl appearance for Washington, but their first since going to three straight in the early 1990s under head coach Don James.https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=0FBWAAAAIBAJ&sjid=mesDAAAAIBAJ&pg=5060%2C178757 Eugene Register-Guard Oregon Nadel John Associated Press Huskies have been strong in the end January 1, 2001 7E Despite their record and ranking, the Huskies were a slight underdog to Purdue. Purdue Boilermakers 2000 Purdue Boilermakers football team The Big Ten champion Purdue Boilermakers were led by quarterback Drew Brees. They did not have a particularly auspicious start, winning against Central Michigan and Kent State before losing at Notre Dame. They defeated Minnesota, but then lost at struggling Penn State. The Boilermakers made surprising wins in October starting with Michigan, at Northwestern, at Wisconsin, and finishing with Ohio State. A 30-10 drubbing at the hands of Michigan State set them back, but a win over Indiana and losses by Michigan and Ohio State left them in a three-way tie with Northwestern and Michigan. Purdue got the Rose Bowl invitation by virtue of the head-to-head victories over both teams.
