If they consulted us nerd bloggers, I’d vote to have Cal’s bye week always be after game 6 so that we can take a breather and review exactly half a season’s worth of numbers. Maybe even after 7 games, so that the impacts of an FCS game are further dilluted and we can focus on more Pac-12 data.
But we have the data we have, so let’s look at full season aggregate grades and numbers, and try to decide what we can say about the season so far.
