Clemson thought the same thing in ‘92, and the stomping we gave them in the citrus bowl was my first proudest moment as a Cal fan.

Not surprised. My mom's family all live in Alabama (they root for the Tide) and they are all very nice and classy, even when it comes to something sacred like college football. When my cousin married a girl who went to Auburn, the family welcomed her with open arms. However, they are now divorced so we should have all seen it coming.

The recruiting and transfer ranks are top five. They will be a team to beat.
