Stanford Cardinal
Best moment: The Cardinal saved their best for last, at least when it came to the regular season. They locked into a fierce see-saw duel with then-No. 6 Notre Dame and fell behind with 30 seconds left. That’s when senior quarterback Kevin Hogan came to the rescue against the team he grew up rooting for. Hogan delivered a 27-yard strike to Devon Cajuste to set up Conrad Ukropina's 45-yard field goal as time expired.
