This past weekend, the Washington State Cougars picked up their fifth win of the season, improving to 5-1 on the year. WSU took a road trip to Fresno State and left with a 25-17 win, clinched by a long interception return for a touchdown.

As a result, the Cougars are not ranked in the latest AP Top 25, but received significantly more votes than last week. Entering Week Seven, the Cougars had eight votes from members of the Associated Press. This week, the Cougars have 32 votes, still 52 votes shy of #25 Navy.

The Cougars host Hawaii this weekend in WSU's homecoming game. That contest kicks off Saturday afternoon at 12:30 PM PT/3:30 PM ET on The CW.
