As the sole undefeated team in the Pac-12, it’s getting harder and harder for the national media to dismiss the California Golden Bears.
Probably doesn’t hurt that our game was in the earliest slot, kicking off at noon ET. Assuming their lunch-induced food comas didn’t kick in, this means our game wrapped up with most voters still awake!
In the Coaches Poll, Cal is now ranked 16th, up seven spots since last week. We’ve finally surpassed our Week Two victim—Washington—who sit one spot below us at #17. Oregon is the only Pac-12 team ranked above us (#13), with Washington, Utah (#19), and USC (#25) behind us; outside of the Top 25 are Washington State (#27), Colorado (#34), ASU (#40), and Arizona (#45).
