September 22, 1990 – Washington 31, USC 0 Washington had been a strong football program long before 1990, but starting that season, the Huskies put together what must be considered their best stretch ...

Until the BCS started in 1998, there was no official national championship game, which is why Washington has "claimed," not won, two national titles.

Of course, those Huskies and Hurricanes, without a College Football Playoff in place, had to share and be co-champions, and to this day still argue who was better.

Although Washington has two claimed national championships, the Huskies also have three unclaimed titles, as selected by NCAA-designated "major selectors" in 1984 and 1990.
