Andy Staples's weekly power rankings theme: superheroes/villains - fullmetal - 10-26-2011

He's ranked Stanford third, which is gratifying.  Stanford get Spiderman.

Quote:Stanford Cardinal (7-0)
Spiderman: Leave it to Stanford, which helped incubate the founders of Google, Hewlett Packard and Yahoo!, to be on the leading edge of wall-crawling technology with StickyBot III. The project, partially funded by the Department of Defense, involves a gecko-inspired climbing robot, but the technology being developed now could eventually be used in boots and gloves that would allow soldiers or firefighters to scale walls like everyone's favorite friendly neighborhood webslinger. Meanwhile, Stanford's football team looks more like Venom, the alien symbiote that expressed itself as a black Spiderman costume and briefly turned Peter Parker into a much more vicious superhero. The Cardinal are absolutely crushing everyone in their path. They have won their past 10 games by at least 25 points with an average margin of victory of 35.2 points. Other than Oregon, USC might be the only other Pac-12 program worthy of playing on the same field as Stanford, so Saturday's showdown might bring that streak to an end.
Last game: Beat Washington, 65-21
Next game: Saturday at USC

Alabama got the Juggernaut, if you were wondering.

Interestingly, he ranks USC #17. That's a bit, hm, high. Against a random opponent I don't think they're much better than UW.

(Against us...well, they'll be motivated.)
