“Thank you everyone who came out to support us at our UCA and UDA College Nationals send-off! We can't wait to compete in Orlando next weekend, but first, we’re off to Houston to cheer on @uw_football in the CFP National Championship!” the Washington cheerleaders said through their Instagram page.

The UCA college nationals will be held at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, from January 12 to 14, days after the football national championship game.

The Washington Huskies cheerleading squad would want to dethrone the South Florida Bulls team, who won the title last year. But before that comes around, their immediate attention would go to the football national championship game that has gripped the Huskies nation at the moment.

The Washington cheerleaders will be at the NRG Stadium on January 8 when the Huskies take on the Wolverines for the national title. Both teams will be coming into the game with undefeated records and as the top 2 teams in the country.

The Huskies last won the title back in 1991, meaning that their fans have been waiting for more than three decades for a triumph at this stage.

The Wolverines have also waited for the day for more than two-and-a-half decades, having last won the national championship in 1997. So, both teams would be viewing the game as their best chance to end that drought.

The two teams have faced each other 13 times in the past with the Huskies trailing the overall series 5-8. Will the UW Spirit squad get to see their team lift the title on Monday night?
