IIRC 10 Caracals won an alliance tournament once. Caldari isn't bad at PVP - they're "bad" at solo PVP. And even that they're not so bad at.

eh, I guess I really suck at flying caracals then.
Well, the caracals in question were using massive amounts of damps (pre-nerf) and started at range. 10 gank fit HML Caracals is actually a fair amount of damage. What really ends up kicking people's ass is that they want to fly the Caracal like they would a rail Thorax or something.
I mean, yeah... the Caracal could use some more grid (hello CCP, the M in MWD is Mandatory... stop ****ing with me on this!). But it's not a *bad ship*.

If you're talking about that match where BoB lost in the finals and a big upset and all that, it was 10 Thoraxes, not Caracals. Even so, still T1 Cruiser... 
There was definitely a 10 caracal damp blob. CCP Oveur was on the set when it happened and he was visibly upset and strongly hinted at a damp nerf.
-Liang
Ed: And yes, I remember the 10 Thorax blob too. IIRC they sported 5 Med ECM drones each.

It would be interesting to see what kind of gangs the "it's a gang ship" proclaimers see Caldari ships fly in, frequently, barring Drake/BC gangs.
In PVP (order of frequency): Raven, Drake, Scorpion, Crow, Manticore, Falcon, Harpy, Blackbird, Ferox, Nighthawk, Basilisk, Kestrel, Merlin, Widow, Rook, Eagle, Cerb...
-Liang
Ed: Raven, Drake, Scorp, and Crow are really heavily used, but the Manticore and Falcon aren't terribly far behind. ;-)

Surely the cerb is more popular than the eagle??? The eagle is just downright chunderous.
The cerb is actually a great HAC with good dps, sit at 70km+ and hit the secondary..(or a tad closer and hit a large primary)
When you're dealing with 150-200km, missile travel time begins to suck.

Let me requote with emphasis on what i was veering for.
Standard low sec roaming gangs man. We regularly see Drakes, Scorps, Cerbs, Caracals, Falcons, Rooks, Ravens, Crows, **** tons of Manticores, etc. And honestly if you aren't seeing Massive ****ing Drake+Basi/Scim Blobs everywhere you turn you have your eyes closed.

One of the few Caldari ships that aren't really good is the Eagle.
I've been looking at it for 2 hours now and I just can't shoe-horn it into any useful role.
Except:
Bait
"Versatile Sniper"
Sigh... It really needs something, one more mid, change one optimal bonus for a ROF/DMG bonus. A small dronebay... something.
I'd honestly prefer making those 10% optimal bonuses 15% optimal bonuses. :)
