Rankings from AP Poll

The 2007 Washington State Cougars football team represented Washington State University in the: 2007 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The team was led by, fifth-year head coach Bill Doba and played its home games on campus at Martin Stadium in Pullman, with one at Qwest Field in Seattle.

The 2007 Apple Cup was played a week later than normal——to allow for both Washington and Washington State——to have a bye, "as neither had one in 2006." This marked the——first time the Apple Cup has been played after Thanksgiving since 1978.

Three days after leading the Cougars to a 42–35 victory in the "Apple Cup," head coach Bill Doba was fired on November 26. Doba posted a 30–29 record during his 5 seasons as head coach; and led the Cougars to only 1 bowl game, a 28–20 victory over Texas in the Holiday Bowl in his first season.
