Season Forecast: Stanford

Stanford Worst Case: The Cardinal look wobbly against Sac State, but still win convincingly. Then it all goes downhill. First, a loss to UCLA. They sneak by Wake Forest. They loss to Notre Dame. Then Oregon. Finally USC. They recover with a win verse Washington State, before dropping 2 more against UW and UA. They finally recover with a win verse ASU, but drop the Big Game and the game against OS. A disappointing 4-8.


Stanford Prediction: The Cardinal wins convincingly over Sac State, prompting “No Luck needed in Stanford blowout,” headlines across the nation. But those headliners are stunned, as UCLA topples the Cardinal in the Rose Bowl. But the resilient Cardinal recover with wins over ND and a huge upset against Oregon, before dropping a game against USC going into the bye. Coming out of the bye, they take out WSU before dropping 2 straight against UW and UA. They dispatch ASU before dropping another epic Big Game against Cal. They close the year with a win over OS to go 7-5.
