(AP) - In two years, California has gone from a 1-11 season to college football's big stage.

The 23rd-ranked Golden Bears are off to their best start since 2007 and are heading into their biggest game in coach Sonny Dykes' three-year tenure when they travel to No. 5 Utah on Saturday night in a matchup of the Pac-12's only remaining undefeated teams.

With ESPN's ''College GameDay'' on hand for a Cal game for the first time since 2009, the Bears (5-0, 2-0) know this is the chance to show that they have returned to relevance in college football and are ready to contend for a conference title after years of struggles.
