2. Arizona State's win over Washington was later forfeited due to ineligible players.
3. Washington was hit by sanctions from the Pac-10 Conference, which included a two-year bowl ban.
4. Sarkisian was Washington's head coach for the 12 regular season games of the 2013 season, but resigned before the Fight Hunger Bowl. Marques Tuiasosopo was appointed interim head coach for the bowl game, which Washington won. The Huskies finished the season with an overall record of 9–4.
5. Washington was unable to play in the 2020 Pac-12 Championship game due to an outbreak of COVID-19 within the team and, on December 18, the Huskies announced that they would not pursue a bid to a bowl game.
