The California Golden Bears obviously want to have a winning season, but as stated many time before, they are facing one of the most difficult schedules in all of college football. Cal’s over/under is already set absurdly low at 3.5 wins. The expectations are pretty low at this point for the Bears to get back to even .500 this season.
The good news is that Cal doesn’t necessarily need a winning record to get to a bowl game! Thanks to their academic improvement and the multitude of bowl games, Cal will probably have a chance at a bowl game regardless if they finish with a 5-7 record.
