To get the pessimistic views out of the way first, the California Golden Bears have fallen out of the bowl projections by CBS Sports after our loss to the Oregon State Beavers.
247 Sports echoes some of last week’s predictions by placing us in the Sun Bowl against the North Carolina Tar Heels. We’re both coming off of heartbreaking losses—theirs a loss to the Virginia Tech Hokies in six overtime periods. Plus, they’re coached by Mack Brown, so let your fists clench at the thought of this match-up.
