Despite playing well below expectations, Stanford is 6-3 and even managed to pick up a couple of votes in the Coaches Poll this week (I double checked, David Shaw is not one of the voters). The top 4 is the same in both polls with our old pal Jim Harbaugh and his Michigan team at number 2, Alabama at number one, Clemson at 3 and the Washington Huskies at number 4.
Elsewhere around the Pac-12 Utah is 13th in the AP and 12th in the Coaches. Colorado is 16th in the AP and 15th in the Coaches Poll.
