The college football schedule-makers were pretty cruel to the California Golden Bears. Cal has potentially the toughest schedule in college football this season, which is defined by some of the most brutal stretches you can possibly find.
- September 30th: at Oregon Ducks. Cal has won once in Oregon since 1987 (the famed 2007 Cal-Oregon matchup. Hail Marcus Ezeff!).
- October 7th: at Washington Huskies. Cal has lost seven of their last eight meetings with Washington.
It goes without saying that each of those games is tough on their own.
