There is something odd about leaving out Cal. There’s a lot of his history there, great school, etc. but they just don’t seem capable of making it in football. Stanford had figured it out for the most part; Cal not so much.
Tradition is important. Cal has been around playing in the same league since prior to WWI. They used to take trains -- only way to travel. But, the shift is to money, since it isn't college football any longer, just in name only.
