ESPN this week ranked the top 100 college football games of 2025, and three Cal games were included. In fact, the three Cal games on the list were all among the top 40 games of the year. Then we will counter with the three Cal games we believe were better. But let’s consider three other 2025 Cal games that were at least as good as the ones ESPN listed, with one that was clearly the best Cal game of 2025. Faced with the choice of kicking a tying field goal or going for a winning touchdown, Cal coach Justin Wilcox opted to go for the touchdown.
