I guess the good news is that someone is guaranteed to get their first win.

No. One cumulative win is the closest (1960). Cal was 1-7-1 and Stanford was 0-9. Cal won.

With today's overtime rules that's true, but I rememnber 1989 when 1-6 Stanford played 1-6 Cal and the game ended in a tie.

1988 (the game was at Cal). Stanford was 3-6-1 coming into the game and Cal was 5-5.
Edited. Pretty sure both teams had 1-6 conference records because I lost a big bet over that game. We stipulated that if neither team won 2 conference games both of us lost. I had to put a Cal license plate frame on my brand new Mustang GT and my friend had to sing the Dirty Golden Bear
