Cal and the Polls and all that stuff

News Flash - College Football Expert and all around smart guy Jerry Palm of CollegeBCS.com is predicting at this point that the Bears will be the Rose Bowl candidate in the Pac 10.

I assume these are his assumptions:

1) USC wins out
2) Cal wins out except at USC, since Oregon and ASU are at Cal and they look like crap, and they are the best of the rest.

If that happens, it is almost an impossibility for the Bears not to be in the Rose Bowl.

Here are my assumptions. We win this weekend and next, and we are in the top 20 after our Bye week. Then, Oregon at home - top 15. USC loss, top 23. Slowly creep back up to top 15 with out final games. We need to be 14 or better to get in. At 10 - 2, we definitely will be. 9-3 could be very tough. But doable. Depends on the computers this week.

I will say one thing. If we do win out, except for USC, we will be favored in every game.

GO BEARS!!
