So an amazing Big Game got me curious where Cal could end up at the end of the season.

I don't know how the tie breaks work, other than for the Rose Bowl (as this explains).  In fact the other bowls can kind of take who they want to some degree, right?  Or do they use overall record as well?  Well let's assume the Rose Bowl tie breaks apply for the rest of the standings.  

First off some assumptions.

1. Cal beats UW.  
2. USC beats UCLA (the iffiest of my assumptions?)
3. UW beats WSU
4. 'Zona beats ASU

So that means the games in question are: Oregon State at Oregon, and Arizona at USC. 

Also note, based on my assumptions thus far the last four teams are:

7) UCLA

8) UW

9) ASU

10) WSU

I know it's only Tuesday, but I'm really excited for Saturday.  It's been so long since Cal has hosted OSU and come out on top.  So I started wondering how we match up.

Couple of fun things to notice

1. OSU has the same number of yards per game passing on offense and defense.
2. Cal's and OSU's defense are ranked right next to each other in both passing and rushing.  
3. OSU's scoring offense is ranked the same as Cal's scoring defense.
4. OSU's rushing offense is quietly not doing that well.  What happened to 'Quizz?  Is the OSU line terrible or something?
5. Looks like there is going to be lots and lots and lots of passing in this game.
