Rankings Update: Week 12

Cal posted back-to-back losses for the first time this season, and subsequently plummeted out of the polls.

The Bears fell to 39th in the AP Poll, receiving only two points from voters. Cal was a no-show in the USA Today Poll, with no points received.

The Bears are 6-4 on the season, and while it remains possible that the Bears might be ranked if they finish 8-4 on the regular season, it seems more realistic that Cal would have to win out their remaining games including their postseason bowl to pop back into the rankings.

Again, rankings really stopped being a relevant issue for the Bears since their loss to Maryland back in September, but still interesting to track nonetheless.
