Before we begin, I want like to thank Mallrat92204 for suggesting that we start comparing each week’s ratings to past performance ratings. We have been doing these report cards for 9(!) seasons now, which gives us a wealth of data to use for the purposes of comparison. The timing was great, as we had a bye week which gave me some extra time to round up all our previous ratings/report card data into a single database. As we’ll see shortly, we have begun to include past performance data to see how this performance compares to previous games against Oregon, and how this compares to previous games in the Wilcox regime.
Rating the Bears: Cal vs. Oregon
