Eight college football reporters predict the conference's order of finish. One expert names the Golden Bears as an underrated team
Virtually no one expects Cal to win the ACC football championship in the Bears’ first year in its new conference, but oneIn fact, the eight CBS Sports reporters polled in the site’s report of the most overrated and underrated teams had Cal all over the map in their prediction of the order of finish in the ACC. None had the Bears finishing in the top half of the standings, though, and three had Cal finishing 15th or worse in the 17-team conference.
Having Georgia Tech and Miami in both the overrated and underrated groups shows the wide difference of opinions regarding ACC football in 2024.The Bears were seemingly left for dead last season before winning in three straight games to finish the regular season at 6-6. Now, coach Justin Wilcox has all six of his all-conference selections from a year ago, most notably star running back Jaydn Ott, and loads of added experience from a 23-player transfer class that ranked No.
All eight CBS Sports experts also projected an order of finish. Four predicted that Miami will win the conference title, three picked Clemson, and one named defending conference champion Florida State as the likely winner. None of the eight picked Cal to finish higher than ninth. One pegged the Bears for ninth, one had Cal 11th, one projected the Bears to end up 12th, two predicted a 13th-place finish for Cal, two tabbed the Golden Bears for 15th, and one – Dennis Dodd – predicted the Bears would finish 17th, which is dead last.
The main uncertsinty with Cal is the quarterback position. While the ACC boasts a bunch of highly rated quarterbacks this season, the Golden Bears have yet to name their starter at that position. Fernando Mendoza, Chandler Rogers and CJ Harris are vying for the starting job, but none has proven himself as an elite quarterback at the Power Four level.Find Cal Sports Report on Facebook by going to https://www.facebook.com/si.
