Washington Huskies (2008-2013)
8-18 vs. ranked opponents
Considering Sarkisian was in rebuild mode at Washington, it’s not too surprising to see the losing record vs. ranked opponents. However, one of his biggest wins as a head coach to date happened while at Washington. The Huskies defeated No. 3 USC on Sept. 19, 2009 by a score of 16-13. Sarkisian would seemingly defeat most of the lower-level Pac-12 teams, but get blown out by the upper-level ones.
