Cal was supposed to be a contender this year.  Wilcox was supposed to be the next great coach in the Pac-12, and supposedly had already surpassed Shaw.  They fell apart.

It was a meaningless year, though, right?
Cal never got off the schneid this season.  
We'll see how they do next year.  I wouldn't count them out (as you appear to do).

P.S.  Fell apart?  A blocked PAT from OT with the Cardinal.  The Pac was loaded with mediocre to average teams.

Cal's problem was the delayed start to the season. They are a .600+ club in Sep/Oct and around .300 in Nov/Dec over the last 10 years. True to form again this year.
