3. Chris Petersen: WASHINGTON
I'm sure plenty of people will disagree with this ranking, but this is where I had Petersen on my ballot, and it's where he deserves to be. We all know what he did for Boise State, and he's doing the same thing for Washington. After going 15-12 in his first two seasons with the Huskies, they're 32-9 with two Pac-12 titles in the last three seasons, including a playoff berth in 2016. When you look at the current landscape of the conference, Washington is poised to be a powerhouse for a while, and none of that happens without Petersen. He's a terrific coach; he's just never coached in a region of the country where he's going to get a ton of attention for it. 2018 rank: 5 (+2)

I'd trade red face for Kirby in a second.
