In a little over two weeks, a new era kicks off for Cal football. Under Justin Wilcox the Bears enjoyed years of stability, although that stability felt more like stagnation in the latter half of his tenure as the Bears consistently slogged their way just past the threshold for bowl eligibility. Our annual preseason predictions reflected this, as we seemed stuck around 7 wins for years. A new coaching staff rarely fixes all a team’s issues overnight, so predictions of an undefeated season will probably have to wait until next year. But for now, let’s calibrate our expectations for the first year under Tosh Lupoi.
Participation is simple: go to our form here and provide your predictions for how likely Cal is to defeat each opponent. Keep your predictions between 0 and 100, where 0 represents a 0% chance of winning, 100 represents a universe where there is no possible way Cal loses the game (don’t tempt fate like that…), and 50 represents a coin-flip game. Submit your prediction for each game and I’ll gather the results and share them ahead of the UCLA game. Thanks for participating and Go Bears!
