ESPN college football reporter Ted Miller explains how a two-loss Stanford, with a little bit of chaos in the top 10, can still qualify for the College Football Playoff.
Stanford can clinch its place in the Pac-12 championship game with a win over California. The Cardinal, who have won their past five games against the Golden Bears, can also clinch with an Oregon loss to USC. The Ducks and Trojans were both ranked in the preseason top 10 but started the season 3-3; both are currently on four-game winning streaks having beaten the highest-ranked opponent in their respective divisions.
