Other quick observations: * OU was No. 1 heading into the postseason. (Sorry, Auburn.) Title game flipped things MASSIVELY. * Cal ranked ahead of Texas pre-bowls, too. Reeeeeeaallly got screwed out of a major bowl. * THE WAC HAD THE NO. 1 OFFENSIVE AVERAGE. I LOVE THAT SO MUCH. - ThreadSky

As someone who had season tickets that year, YES, yes Cal got screwed. That offense was bananas productive.

I love stumbling across the stats from that season and remembering that, despite having Rodgers and Marshawn, that offense was totally JJ Arrington's show.

Rodgers was good not great down the stretch that year, which led to me predicting, when I lived in Wisconsin, that he probably wouldn't be special in the NFL.

Whoops. (And Arrington was just very enjoyable to watch)

(No idea why UVA and NC State showed up as Indies there. Will fix that before entry into the Giant SP+ Google Sheet.)

AH HA! I *KNEW* your spreadsheet hated us!!!

Just because it said you were too good for the ACC???

jamescurle.bsky.social•4 days ago

Buddy, we are *NOT* too good for the ACC. In fact, there’s no more ACC team than N.C. State—with all the good and bad connotations that come with that.

Robbed Cal of their first rose bowl in 50 years and (as it turned out) last chance to make a traditional Rose Bowl. Such a bummer.
