As of 1923[1]; Rankings from AP Poll

The Huskies were 12–3 overall in the regular season and 5–3 in conference play; tied for first in the Northern division.

Washington tied with Idaho in the North, so they met in a playoff game in Spokane,[2] which the Vandals won.[3][4][5][6] Born and raised in Moscow, Edmundson was a UI alumnus and former head coach.[2] California and Stanford tied for the Southern Division title, but since the Golden Bears had won three of four in the season series, the Cardinals opted out of a playoff and ceded the title.[7]
