Based on the recent records and strong performance in the recent years, the Washington Huskies are favourite to win this year edition as well because of the two reasons -
- Recent Records: Since 2013, for the last 7 years, Washington Huskies have won it, and they want to break their own record of the highest winning streak of 8. So they are 99% sure to win this year edition as well.
- Washington Huskies Home Ground: This year edition of the Governor's Trophy will be played at Husky Stadium, and it's the home ground of Washington Huskies for the Pac-12 conference since 1920. So they are well aware of the ground facts.
