PrintNot that I'm surprised by this news. But does it change your predictions for the game? Best was, without a doubt, one of the best running backs of the season and his loss will not be easy to get over for a Cal team that struggled greatly at times on the offensive end this season.
While I think Utah stands a better chance of winning with Best not playing, it's still going to be an extremely tough game that comes down to whether or not the Utes can move the ball on the offensive end.

Of course it’s big to see a guy like Best on the sideline instead of in the game, it definitely hurts the game’s national appeal as well..but is about what cal team shows up, because i expect utah to play well like they’ve done in bowl games in the past.
You're right...it is a double-edged sword.
Obviously this makes the game easier. Any time your opponent loses one of its best players, you’re coming out of it with an advantage.
Unfortunately, it also lowers interest and gives them an excuse if Utah wins. :/
