#6 AP, Coaches, Harris

Cal is now the consensus #6 team in the nation.

While the Bears were already #6 in the AP poll, they have now risen to the same spot in the USA Today/Coaches poll (moving past Wisconsin who struggled against Iowa, and leapfrogging Texas). Meanwhile, the first Harris Poll was released, with Cal also taking the #6 slot. The Coaches’ and Harris polls make up the bulk of the BCS ranking calculation, so the Bears are in a good position for a BCS berth if the season continues to go well.

As a side note, Oregon is now #11 in the AP, #12 in the Coaches, and #10 in the Harris poll.
