at TT, you have to play texas and oklahoma every year. at washington, it's really just usc as the elite program. also, outside of usc, they don't play defense in the pac-10. leach will have a field day.
uw is a big school, the state flagship (if you will), located in seattle. if you've never seen their football stadium, you should check it out - it's amazing. their tailgating is done on the water - like tennessee, but much nicer. plus, uw has a successful football history (much more so than TT).
