Just checked out ESPN.com and found out that the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll for college football has been released. Lo and behold, Cal is ranked #15. I can't remember the last time Cal was ranked in the top 25 in the preseason.

To celebrate, our very own BCS Poll (the blog championship series poll), has its own preseason rankings. Unfortunately, due to lack of funding and resources, the preseason rankings are the same as last year's final standings. Have no fear, things will start to pick up again at the beginning of the season starting week 1, August 24th-30th.

Although I do not share the ESPN East Coast bias, I have to admit I am not bias-free... read: Alinna will enter the rankings in week 1. Then again, the real BCS (the bowl championship series) is just about as objective as a Berkeley ethnic studies professor on politics.
