Rivals Preseason Ranking: #31 Cal Bears

Yesterday, Rivals had first opponent of the season ranked #32. Well, as it turns out, we're right in front of them at #31.

College Football's Preseason rankings have got to be one of the biggest patchwork pieces of guesswork and bias ever, but honestly, Rivals had Cal about where I expected us to be: Out of most Top 25 preseason polls, but not too far out to be withing striking distance of breaking into the rankings with a few early season wins.

I'll have more about my thoughts on our preseason rankings as more of them come out, but for now, you can enjoy Rivals' breakdown here.
