Introduction
Some college football teams pour upwards of $30 million into each season but receive little in return. Ohio State, for instance, had $34 million in football expenses last year but only won six games this season. Other teams have found ways to do more with much, much less. Best in that category is Washington Football, which spent just $11 million while winning ten games. The football Washington State Cougars team spent just $1.1 million per win, the lowest amount in college football. In Washington are some of the oldest college football teams that worth mentioned.
The football Washington Huskies team
College football has a long history at the University of Washington. The football Washington Huskies team has won 15 Pacific-10 Conference championships, seven Rose Bowl titles, and three national championships. Washington's all-time record of 653-398-50 (as of 2008) ranks 20th by all-time winning percentage and 21st by all-time victories. The team has two of the nation's longest winning streaks, including an NCAA second-best of 39 wins in a row, holds the Division I-A unbeaten record at 63 consecutive games, and has had a total of twelve unbeaten seasons, including seven perfect seasons which is something you don't see every day.
Washington is one of four charter members of what became the Pacific-12 Conference and one of only two schools with uninterrupted membership from the beginning. From 1977 through 2003, Washington had 27 consecutive non-losing seasons—the most of any team in the Pac-12 and the 14th longest streak by an NCAA Division I-A team. Through the 2008 season, its 342 conference victories rank second in league history. The Huskies play on campus in historic Husky Stadium.
The football Washington State Cougars team
The football Washington State Cougars team is the intercollegiate football team of Washington State University. The team is a member of the Pacific-12 Conference.

The Cougars play home games on campus at Martin Stadium, which opened in 1972; the site dates back to 1892 when it was called Soldier Field. Its present seating capacity is 35,117. From 2001 through 2003 Washington State had three consecutive 10 win seasons, also finishing ranked among the top ten teams in the nation each year. They finished the 2001 season beating Purdue in the Sun Bowl 33-27. The Cougars then lost to Oklahoma 34-14 in the Rose Bowl January 1st, 2002. They capped the three year ride with a 28-20 victory over then #5 ranked Texas in the 2003 Holiday Bowl.
