Shouldn’t the Bears ranking go up today?
(Written by kencraw)
Cal was 25 yards from beating a team ranked 18 spots higher than it.
Cal’s previous victory over “not very good” Washington looks a whole lot better now that they upset #17 USC.
Cal’s previous victory over “not very good” Texas looks a WHOLE lot better now that they upset #10 Oklahoma.
Cal’s previous victory over “not very good” WSU looks better now that they upset “#26” Oregon.
Cal is still 5-1, as good as at least 8 teams (even more if you count the losses from this week) ranked above them.
Doesn’t that all add up to a team that should be ranked around #20 or so?

I agree, but it’s not going to happen. Cal doesn’t have the street cred to stay in ranked after this week. But, if we beat UCLA (which I feel more positive about now than any other time this year) then we’ll probably jump to somewhere in the high teens.

It happened! Up one spot in ESPN to 22. Stayed the same in AP and coaches. Not bad for a losing effort.

Wow. I guess they earned some respect.
