Washington moved past Florida State to take over the fourth and final projected playoff spot in the College Football Playoff selection committee's weekly rankings update on Tuesday night.
Of the group of five 11-0 teams, Georgia, Ohio State and Michigan remained Nos. 1-3, but for the first time this season, Washington moved to No. 4.
Florida State lost star quarterback Jordan Travis for the year with a lower left leg injury in Saturday's 58-13 win over North Alabama. Washington, meanwhile, beat then-No. 11 Oregon State 22-20 on the road for its fourth win over a team ranked inside the top 20 at the time.
Both Washington and Florida State have clinched spots in their respective conference title games. The Huskies' Pac-12 championship game opponent has yet to be finalized, while Florida State will play Louisville.
