Not only have the Cal Bears been winning games, they have been winning games with seemingly ease for the most part (3 of the 5 wins last weekend was via the run-rule). Does this mean that the Bears will be a serious NCAA title contender in 2018? How about in the Pac-12?
In this super early going of the season, it does appear that NCAA and Pac-12 contenders are basically the same thing. Washington Huskies have just ascended to the No.1 ranking for the first time in 8 years. Undefeated UCLA is ranked 3rd. Oregon Ducks are 5th while the Arizona Wildcats are 13th.
