Cal's successes and failures in the Tedford era

Not sure if anyone here care's too much about it but why not.

I made a little script that would basically calculate Cal's success and and failures in the Tedford era.
Thus I have two tables below that show Cal's W-L record against all the teams it has played since 2002 and another table showing Cal's W-L record in eachy city Cal has played in since 2002.
The tables are color coded from blue to red with blue representing good (100% WR %age) and red representing bad (0% of games were won). Last item is an image of the map of US with circles centered
around the cities Cal has played in colored from blue to red. It's the same thing as the 2nd table except shown graphically.

It would be interesting now to perhaps overlay the location information with recruiting information to see how much of a correlation success in an area has to do with recruits.
Or we could overlay with another team's record to see something.

Interesting information that can be gleamed is that we (Cal) have a fair bit of success in Northern areas but yucky luck in southern areas (see: SoCal)

And yes I already posted this on the Cal blog.

Have you compared the quality of teams you’ve faced in the north vs. the quality of teams in the south?

That would probably be helpful as well.

Well in the south we have USC (heh), UCLA (who seriously sucked the past few years except for 2005 when they had Drew Jones) and the Holiday Bowl where we lost to Texas Tech stupidly and beat Texas A&M.

In other words, Go Bears!
