Cal is headed to the ACC for some reason and now we have Pacific Coast teams playing in the Atlantic Coast Conference. After going 6-7 and making a bowl in 2023, the Golden Bears will look to ride Jaydn Ott to another bowl appearance and maybe even more. They have two extremely tough road games at Auburn and at Florida State who have two of the best atmospheres in the country. Ott is one of the best players in the country at any position and the Pac-12 leading rusher from a season ago might just be the best running back in the ACC.
