So Very Bored

I feel for you about Cal. I don't mind them myself, but I feel the same way about WSU that you do about Cal. The WSU rose bowl years sucked ass. Especially since I lived in Spokane which is Cougar Country. Anyone besides USC on Cal's schedule that has a good chance of knocking them off?

Well fortunately Cal has a brutal in conference road schedule this year with the the most obvious one being Arizona State, who granted hasn't played that tough of a schedule but has bludgeoned to death everyone in their path so far. That'll be the second half a pontentially dangerous back-to-back road trip preceded by UCLA. And hey UW in November in Seattle could be landmine. The depressing thing for me is even if Cal loses to USC they would still have a great shot at the Rose Bowl which is almost, on some level, worse than them getting to play for the national title. So really I have to root for two losses or for USC to get upset at some point and beat Cal to send the Trojans to Pasadena.

Your rankings are fine. I agree with not liking to rank 1 loss teams over undefeateds. Cal will handle Arizona State, the Sun Devils tend to start off slowly and that'll lead to Cal getting a huge lead in a hurry before ASU musters up something.

 

I think Cal might lose to UCLA.
