Stanford
Best moment: The Cardinal’s season hit its crescendo early. After dominating USC, Stanford trailed late in a physical game at UCLA. Quarterback Ryan Burns led a 10-play, 70-yard touchdown drive that finished with the go-ahead touchdown pass to JJ Arcega-Whiteside -- a majestic fade -- and kept Stanford undefeated for the time being.
Lowest moment: That UCLA win was the beginning of the end of the Cardinal’s playoff chances.
