Golden Nuggets: Avoiding the Ranking Distraction; Very Few Pick Cal to Win

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.
