Rankings Update: Final 2008-2009

Well the 2008-2009 College Football Season is officially over, after Florida finished off Oklahoma in the BCS Title Game last night.

The final AP and Coaches polls were released soon after, and Cal finished about where I thought they might.

Cal was ranked just outside the Top 25 in the AP Poll at 26th with 128 points. The Golden Bears were in the top 25 at the 25th spot in the Coaches Poll however.


It's hard to really argue that the Bears should have finished a lot higher, but one can easily make the argument that Cal could have probably taken down a few of the teams in front of them. Heck, they DID take down Michigan State (#24) and Oregon (#9) after all.

Buck up Bears fans. The Sagarin Ratings has us rated 16th.

Yay.

Yeah I saw that. I don't bank on Preseason rankings too much myself, but I do think we have a chance to be quite better than last year's team, so hopefully these aren't too lofty of expectations.
