All fans can look at their teams’ schedules and identify the stretches that will likely determine whether the season will be a success.
That’s our objective as we examine the schedules of all Pac-12 teams and attempt to identify the toughest two-to-four-game stretches for each club.
Up next: Stanford
Toughest stretch: First half of the season (Kansas State, Bye, USC, at UCLA, at Washington, Washington State, at Notre Dame)
Why: OK, we're bending the rules a bit to accommodate Stanford's situation.
