[Right Cal Gal]

I’ve always wondered how that worked out.
But what about the Rose Bowl in - what was it - 2004? 2005? Michigan v. Texas? Everyone thought Cal would go and lost by two votes, those of the Texas coach (who begged for votes on TV) and his brother) so it was Big 10 yes, Pac 10 no. I’ve never understood why Cal didn’t get the nod there. I think that was the year USC was in the title game.

I don't know about that one; I remember that game pretty well--and as you note, USC went to the title game, but I'm not sure how Texas got in.
