The last post had some interesting splits on California’s home/road stats. Why don’t we compare Home Bears to the Road Ducks and see what we get (H/T @ Giraffe’s prior comment.

Ranking the Pac-10: Week 11 – Accentuate the Positive
The blog needs to focus on the positive to get through this week. Having to redo 80% of this post because of a crappy internet connection? Opportunity to do something even better the second time!

Ranking the Pac-10: Week 10 – A Dynasty is Laid to Rest

Plentiful Pac-10 Picks – Week 9
Finally, a full Saturday of Pac-10 play. And it’s a juicy one. Will the Cougars break through? Can Cal keep it within 40 in a road game? Can Stanford keep on winning with no one noticing? And how ’bout that game in L.A.? No, not you UCLA.
