Stanford is playing like one of the best teams in the nation, and there's no stopping that offense. In each of their wins this season, they have put up 31+ points, and it starts with tailback Christian McCaffrey. He does it all for that team - on the ground, through the air and in the return game.
It's hard to imagine this team losing this season in Pac-12. Of course, it's college football and anything can happen, but Stanford seems to be in a class of their own in comparison to the Pac-12. This is a team that I wrote off before the season started because of their lack of defense, but now it's the offense getting it down.
