Cal +13.5 2.2% play

This is the role Cal loves to be in under Wilcox.  A dog, or double digit dog, and I expect they will be right in this game as SMU is already locked into the ACC Championship game next week, and we have seen teams in that role struggle a bit.  Cal has faced the tougher schedule and brings in a top defense, as well as a team that does not turn the ball over.  SMU ranks 112th in % of possessions ending in a turnover as they have lost 19 on the season.  The two games against good defenses were BYU, they lost, and Duke they won by 1 on the road.  Cal ranks 18th in ypp defense, 13th in ypc, and 33rd in qb defense, and their defensive line ranks 19th in sack rate.
