Stanford came in at number 7 in the second College Football Playoff rankings of the 2015 season but the focus remains on defeating Oregon.
The Stanford Cardinal moved up 4 slots from 11 to 7th. Stanford is coming off a win against Colorado, but have a big contest at home this Saturday against a surging Oregon. Several teams ahead of Stanford lost this weekend including Michigan State, LSU and TCU. While it is exciting to see Stanford move up, the Cardinal still has to handle their business against Oregon, Cal, Notre Dame, and a potential Conference Championship game appearance.
