Which games are you downgrading the chances of the California Golden Bears, and where has your opinion not changed? Why?
Nick Kranz: Well, let's start with the obvious - Cal has home games against Arizona and Oregon State, and both of those programs have significant issues that should place the Bears as solid home favorites. Beyond those two games, I don't think my expectations have changed a ton. USC and Washington are still tough, tough asks. Road trips to UCLA and Oregon will be difficult as well, in part because the passing offenses of both teams will likely match up well with our iffy pass rush and questionable secondary.
