The Good?: Mike Montgomery certainly wants to test this team on the road. Oski the Bear's favorite squad will play at both The Pit (New Mexico) and The Phog (Kansas).

The (not so) Bad?: The Pac 10 favorites certainly will have their hands full early. A Coaches vs. Cancer semifinal matchup vs. Syracuse will be followed by North Carolina or Ohio State.

The Ugly?: The Golden Bear "Classic"? Maybe not so much, though perhaps UCSB could throw a wrench into things.
