Football Dots:

• ESPN's Pac-12 Blog takes a look at the state of the conference and rates the optimism level for each program moving forward, and the Huskies top the list.


• Christian Caple has this informative early look at the Southern Miss Golden Eagles.


• USA Today released their Freshman All-American team today, and somehow no Huskies made their list (direct your complaints to Paul Myerberg).
  


• Scout.com has this look at their top-10 Wide Receiver prospects in the 2016 class, and a couple of Washington targets make that list.


• Speaking of WR recruits, Louisville commit (and Husky target) Chris Taylor-Yamanoha had this shout-out to the UW coaches on twitter:

• Coaches aren't just focused on wrapping up their 2016 class - they're also hard at work getting a head start on the 2017 class:

• Chris Fetters at Dawgman.com caught up with Keith Gilbertson and posted this terrific podcast of their conversation.


• The CFP Championship game will feature Pac-12 referees.  Good chance for them to show the ACC referees a thing or two about how to botch calls...


• Brian Tom of the UW Sports Information Department makes a good point:
