Stanford still has a shot at the College Football Playoffs, despite their late loss to Oregon. Not only is Oregon coming back to form, but the Cardinal get to play the Notre Dame Fighting Irish this weekend, and will square off against the winner of UCLA vs. USC game in the Pac-12 Championship Game. Led by Christian McCaffrey, this is a fun team to watch in the conference.
It was bit of a jump throwing Washington State up at No. 2 last week, but the way things have shaken up in the past two weeks, I feel pretty confident about the pick now.
