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.

A blocked PAT from OT with Stanford.  A 34-10 shellacking by UCLA (yes, 10 points against *that* UCLA, and also, allowing 34 points, which we considered a sign of how much our defense sucked).  A loss to Oregon State (another team we beat).  Cal went 1-3 in a year where they were expected to contend for the Pac-12 North title.

And yes, it was a meaningless year.
