For the second straight season, it is fair to say that Cal has a good but somewhat flawed team. In their win over Navy, it was mostly the backs who scored the tries (all but one) but the progressions leading to the scores did involve the entire team. It does depend on the matchups, but perhaps Cal might try different tactics in these potential postseason rematches to get different results against SMC and BYU.
Cal does not quite have the physical advantage of some years past that would allow them to overcome too many ball-handling mistakes. One would expect every postseason match after this round to be decided by a possession or two. You know this Golden Bears side is hungry for another national title. The tough postseason road, likely requiring a lot of traveling on the road, may just focus the Bears more.

Cal Men's Gymnastics takes third at the MPSF Championships with a 405.600, the fourth-best score in modern program history & the Bears’ best in seven years!
The NCAA Championships is next for this team, but it's virtually impossible for the Bears to catch Oklahoma (418.4 at this meet) or Stanford (422.7 at the MPSF Championships).

I believe SMC defeated Grand Canyon 38-7 (only found one Tweet about this from the Grand Canyon club team account). Cal will play at SMC next Saturday.
Since Cal beat the Navy, I think they can beat anyone. Three tough games on the way to the national championship. Not like the old days where just the final was the challenge. Been a little while since the Bears finished on top. Would be nice to see for someone who has been a Cal Rugby fan since the '80's.
