The Week 4 conference games did get down to the nitty-gritty.
My off-the-cuff opinion of whether or not the Bears will go to a post-season bowl game is that Cal could still do it with a hell of a lot of luck.
Cal has now gotten 3 wins. Three more wins, and Cal is "in!"
Yes, the bruins walloped the Buffs, but the Buffs still managed to score 17 points. Surely the Bears can do better than that, especially at home?
As for Cal's other opponents, UDub showed that they're for real by convincingly beating down the furds.
Wazzu almost knocked the Ducks out of the Top 25. The Ducks won, but not before the Cougs showed that maybe they should be nationally ranked too. The same could be said about the Beavs given the scrappy game that they put up against the Trojans.
Anyway, I believe Cal should beat Colorado and the furdies. And, I'm sticking my neck out in saying I think Cal could possibly beat the bruins; if not, the Bears will otherwise have to pull off what would have to be regarded as the upset of the season. That is, Cal would have to beat at least one of the following: Wazzu, UDub, the Beavs, the Ducks, or the Trojans.
