The Mystery: Who Voted for Cal in the Preseason Coaches Poll?

Cal was picked to finish 12th in the preseason ACC media poll, so the Golden Bears did not expect to get any respect from the 72 FBS head coaches who vote in the coaches preseason top-25 poll. Each of the 72 coaches (more than half the 138 FBS head coaches) submits a top-25 ballot for the coaches poll, with the No. How the coaches vote is not revealed until the final poll of the season, so it's a guessing game. We know Cal head coach Tosh Lupoi is not the coach who voted for Cal, because he is not one of the 72 coaches on the poll panel. We know it wasn't UCLA head coach Bob Chesney, who faces Cal in Berkeley in the September 5 opener but is not one of the 72 coaches who vote in the coaches poll.
