Stanford Cardinal football 2015: The Biggest Obstacle to Stanford’s Success Is Probability

As Stanford continues to climb the rankings everyone is staying focused on the next game but Matt Vassar examines the probability of Stanford winning out

Yesterday, I posted a piece indicating that if Stanford won out, it would be insanely likely for Stanford to make the College Football Playoffs.

That is, IF Stanford won out. But how likely is it for Stanford to win out?

A lot of commentators have looked at Stanford's remaining schedule, and concluded that winning out isn't so difficult at all. After all, the only two road games left on Stanford's schedule are against two very beatable teams: Washington State and Colorado.
