Jan 31, 2025 · We talked a little with our video about lopsided scores, and yes the gap between the very strongest teams on the West Coast and the rest is a concern. We have also talked about how Arizona looked impressive in a close loss to Saint Mary's two weeks ago. The Wildcats visit Cal this week and will have their work cut out for them.

Feb 4, 2025 · While we don't have a ton of changes at the top of the D1A rankings, we do have a change at #1. Cal moves up to #1 after a shutout win over Arizona. Remember, Arizona held Saint Mary's to a 12-10 Gael victory, and we're thinking that if you factor that in with a 24-22 Life win over Saint Mary's, and the fact that Life also beat Navy, we kind of have to make the move.
