Blame Dreamforce for my absence Tuesday and my forgetting to vote in the Power Rankings...
Cal is one of 21 remaining unbeaten FBS teams and a victory in Saturday night’s game against No. 19 Oregon (3-1, 0-1 Pac-12) would go a long way toward securing the school’s first AP postseason ranking since the 2006 squad went 10-3 and finished No. 14.
Most of the Bears’ players were in elementary school back then. In fact, only about a quarter of the team was on the ranked squad three years ago, but the players feel like they’re ready for the intensified spotlight.
