Cal football’s season is officially over. The Golden Bears did not qualify with a high enough APR score to attain a 5-7 bowl game. This is the third time in four years that Sonny Dykes has not made a bowl at Cal, and the second time in three years he comes up one victory short. Narrow defeats at San Diego State and Oregon State turned out to be the difference.
Texas did turn down their bid at 5-7, but every other team that satisfied both APR and bowl eligibility requirements did not. South Alabama’s win yesterday leapt them into a bowl as well.
