| Re: College Football begins... your thoughts!
All I have to say is... so far, so good. The Cal win against Tennessee was great. Our defense looked a little soft, but our offense looked awesome.
I have a prediction: the highest percentage of punts that are intentionally kicked out of bounds is going to be teams playing Cal. Tennessee actually kicked it away from DeSean Jackson on their first punt, so it wasn't really a "challenge". However, after that first punt, each one was kicked out of bounds. Man that guy is good.
How will we do in the end? It's tough to say -- we've got a brutal schedule. Besides having to play both UCLA (#15) and USC (#1), we'll have to play against a couple of Oregon teams that are pretty tough (both are on the cusp of making the top 25). And one of the Arizona schools is also a sleeper -- they could make wave in the standings. Bottom line -- it will depend on our defense. If they can toughen up, I think Cal could be in the BCS. If not, it'll be in the lame Emerald Bowl or something similar. Pac Ten teams have some poor contracts for the back up bowl games.
