As accurate as the TV Meteorologist in Kansas are at predicting the weather.

Merrill does not approve of this statement.

Hadn't seen that yet. Of course, this might be a bonus to several other PAC-12 teams as they now have an opportunity to get some quality wins. If Cal does not fall to far, you now have the potential for 1, 2, maybe 3 teams, to add to their RPI.

Unfortunately that is how it seems to work for BcS teams. The PAC 12 may now go from being a 1.5 bid conference to a 3 or 4 bid conference.

Actually the PAC12 did so bad in the non-con, that even if a few other teams get wins over Cal that they wouldn't have otherwise gotten, they still shouldn't get more than one or two bids.

By non-con performance they should be a one bid conference. It should take a lot of luck and everything going right to get them 2 bids. Anything more than that is just plain WRONG and ROBING BIDS FROM SOME OTHER MORE DESEVERING CONFERENCE (non BCS in all likely hood).
