With their win over Washington State, the Huskies became the first team to go undefeated in Pac-12 play since the league expanded to 12 teams in 2011. It was Washington's 13th undefeated regular season and 8th perfect regular season, their first since 1991.[2]

After beating the Oregon Ducks on December 1, 2023, in the Pac-12 Championship, Washington also set a program record for wins during a season, their thirteen wins beating the previous record of twelve originally set by their 1991 national championship team and tying the 2016 team. Washington was ranked No. 2 in the final College Football Playoff rankings, and played against Texas in the 2024 Sugar Bowl. They won that game, 37–31, becoming the second and final Pac-12 team to win a College Football Playoff game, and advanced to the 2024 CFP National Championship game against No. 1 Michigan, where they lost 34–13.
