Rankings Update: Week 3

The Bears continue to roll. Cal moved up two spots to #8 this week after bulldozing Eastern Washington. They benefited from Oklahoma State's upset by Houston and the Ohio State Buckeyes late game loss to USC in Columbus.

This is the Bears' highest ranking since being ranked #2 in October 7th, 2007. The Bears were on the verge of taking the top spot before their stunning loss to Oregon State at home. The Bears had also been ranked 8th in 2007 after consecutive wins as well.


The Pac-10 also continues to be missing in action in the Top 25, with only the Trojans and the Bears in the rankings. Oregon State slid a few spots to 28th, preventing their entrance into the Polls after an all-close come-from-behind win over UNLV. UCLA continues to move forward after beating Tennessee for the second year in a row, moving up to 30th with 44 points.

Oregon has received some votes with 5, and Arizona's second consecutive win the season nabbed them 4 points.

[Edit: Wait...Ore...Oregon is receiving votes?!? HOW?!?!]

No other comments other than what's written in my previous recap. They will catch up with us at this rate, most definitely.

Jess, next Saturday will be a big test. "No question about it." Great teams play on the road. Simple as that.

Kevin, what can I say, I'm great at stealing pics. :)
