California Golden Bears 2026 Team Preview (Ep. 3090)

The College Football Experience (@TCEonSGPN) on the Sports Gambling Podcast Network continues its 138 college football team preview series with the California Golden Bears 2026 Season Preview. Pick Dundee aka (@TheColbyD) & Ryan McIntyre (@Moneyline_Mac) break down the 2026 California Golden Bears roster and what to expect in the ACC this season. Can Tosh Lupoi turn a 7-6 Cal team into an ACC contender in his first year on the job? Is sophomore Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele ready to build on a 3,454-yard, 18-touchdown 2025? Can offensive coordinator Jordan Sommerville lift an offense that finished 89th in total offense and just 135th on the ground last fall? Does Michael Hutchings have the pieces to steady a defense that ranked 62nd in total defense? How much do the Tosh Lupoi hire and Cal alum general manager Ron Rivera change the trajectory in Berkeley? Can Sagapolutele trim the 9 interceptions from a year ago? Does a slate with UCLA, Clemson, the Big Game against Stanford and a Pitt finale set up for a bowl push? And where's the betting value on the California Golden Bears win total, ACC odds and College Football Playoff chances? We talk it all and more on this episode of The College Football Experience. 00:00 Download the SGPN App Today! 00:48 Welcome To The California Golden Bears Preview 04:21 2025 Season Recap: Seven Wins & A Wild Ride 05:33 Wilcox Fired, Rolovich Takes The Reins 07:05 JKS Interview: Confidence, Growth & The Rolovich Bond 13:01 The Tosh Lupoi Hire: Cal's New Era 20:56 The Big Game: Kevin Moen & Cal-Stanford History 25:16 New OC Jordan Somerville & The Offensive Portal Haul 31:21 New DC Michael Hutchings & The Defensive Portal Class 36:22 NIL Beer & Cali Sports Bar 38:57 Memorial Stadium: History, Tightwad Hill & Legends 46:58 State Of The Program: Grading Year One 49:31 Schedule Breakdown: Week 1 UCLA, Syracuse & Wagner 55:45 Clemson, The Allegiant Trip & The ACC Slate 1:02:14 The Big Game Rematch: Stanford & The Pitt Finale 1:05:14 Locking In The Win Total 1:08:33 Who Should Be On The Schedule 1:11:07 Sign-Off, Next Up Tease & Fight Song Exclusive SGPN Bonuses And Linkshttp://sg.pn/links Watch The College Football Experience on YouTubehttps://sg.pn/tcfe-youtube Follow The College Football ExperienceX/Twitter - https://x.com/TCEonSGPNInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/tceonsgpnTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@tceonsgpn Follow The College Football Experience HostsColby Dant - http://www.twitter.com/thecolbydRyan McIntyre - https://x.com/Moneyline_Mac Gambling problem?
