For another, both teams have aspirations to make a bowl game and a strong start in the Pac-12 could really propel them as they prepare for the top-tier of the conference.

Last Matchup:
In a classic matchup, Washington came away with a 16-13 victory on a final-second touchdown rush. The win propelled UW to a bowl game and it cost Cal a chance at post-season play. Expect a good game this time around. Both teams appear to be very evenly matched and the home crowd will likely play a big role.
