Stanford 8-1
Playoff Committee Ranking: AP: 7 Coaches: 7
The Cardinal proved about as much as they could against Colorado with a blowout win on the road, but that's the last of the easy games for Stanford the rest of the season. They now host a red-hot Oregon team, play a struggling mightily but due and dangerous Cal team and then a Top 10 Notre Dame team. The good news for the Cardinal this weekend was that a number of other top national teams lost, sliding them up the rankings.
