Polls

Well, its official - Cal is the number 2 team in the country.  We have a solid lead over Ohio State in both polls.  With Ohio State playing Kent State next week, we have a good opportunity to crush the Beavers and move into a solid top 2 position.

The Pac 10 now has 4 teams in the top 15.  UCLA has dropped pretty much out of the polls (they still have 2 votes in the Coaches, but that is probably from Tedford and Carroll).  Stanford now has 4 votes in the coaches - Wow!  I guess there are 4 Pac 10 coaches voting.  But it does show that the Pac 10 is a tough conference and that anyone can lose any week.

It is good to see Tennessee get back on the board after their pounding of Georgia.  I would love to see them win out, and get to the top 10.  Of course, that means Cal should be number 1 if that would happen.

The biggest disparities between the polls is for South Carolina, who is #7 in the AP and #12 in the coaches.  I guess the Coaches do not like Spurrier.   Also, USC is #7 in the Coaches and 10 in the AP - but the vote total in the coaches is actually pretty close - only 87 votes between 10 and 7 in the AP.  That is generally the difference between one or two places on the poll.  They could win next week and drop just as easily as they could rise.

It is a giddy time to be a Bear fan.  Enjoy.

Go Bears!!

Oski,

If Cal wins next week, then we'll have a solid 2nd place in the top 25. I hope that LSU will lose a game in one of their remaining games. Although that is unlikely.
