The list includes games involving 16 of the 65 Power 5 teams and 6 top-25 teams. I don't want to say it, but, metaphorically speaking, the wheels are falling off the wagon.
PAC-12 is considering having Cal play at UCLA Sunday since both had their games cancelled this weekend by their opponents.
I heard about that, chrisk, and I hope it happens. I feel for the folks who have to deal with the logistics in rescheduling two football teams 48 hours before they will play. Not to mention the chaos in game-planning for a team that you weren't expecting to face this season. But I'm guessing that the teams would be happy to play against anyone, so in 2020 some football is better than none.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
