This is pretty much a worst of all worlds schedule for Cal.
In January of last year it looked like the stars were aligning for Cal to have a terrific season this year, now it seems as if the stars are aligning against us.

How so? Regardless of Covid we were always going to play the entire pac 12 north. We get to skip a very good USC team, I would have preferred to play ucla but that game always seems to be a tricky one for us. We still get Oregon, UW and Stanford at home. Getting UW early is good since they are breaking in a new QB.
We are not scheduled to play either of our rivals in UCLA or USC, and we have to play to play the team I think will be the best of the desert and mountain schools in ASU. Basically, we don't get to keep tradition and we don't get an easy game, hence the worst of all worlds.
I see, you were also factoring in tradition, I was just looking at it from a competitive point of view.
ASU will be tough but they are still young and I would prefer to play ASU over Utah and USC. I would have preferred to just swap out ucla for ASU. At least we would have been able to keep some of our tradition and our schedule would be slightly less difficult.
