And so now we get to ti.
The Oregon Ducks are 2-4 heading into tonight's game at Cal (7:30 p.m./ESPN), and it's critical for the UO bowl chances.
Oregon needs four victories to attain bowl eligibility. That looks doable with a victory tonight and Arizona State, USC, Stanford, Utah and Oregon State remaining on the schedule.
The games at USC and Utah will be tough sledding. But the other three are winnable.
-- ASU is 5-2, but a much better team at home than on the road. Oregon gets the Sun Devils in Autzen Stadium.
