It's rivalry season in college football, which means another edition of a classic matchup between Stanford and Cal coming Saturday.
Since joining the new-era ACC, Stanford has struggled to make any headway. The Cardinal underwent a coaching transition earlier this year, and they're still trying to find their footing under Frank Reich. At 3-7, Stanford can consider this another scrapped season.
Meanwhile, Cal has had a bit more success. Though they've only built a 3-3 record in conference play, the Golden Bears have a 6-4 overall campaign, which qualifies them for a bowl game. Cal has prevailed in this series for the last four years, but can they do it again?
