There are absolutely outcomes to root for that will help Stanford.  It's tough to say what they are beyond one week of results, however.  Just this week, Stanford fans should pay attention to these games and root for the following teams to win this weekend:

FSU at Clemson - Want UDFG's close loss to Clemson to push UDFG as high as possible in rankings and want more 2-loss teams

LSU at Alabama - Want Alabama to have 2 losses

TCU at Oklahoma State - Want TCU to have a loss; then someone can beat them later

Michigan State at Nebraska - Want MSU to lose so they can beat Ohio State and not be undefeated

Minn at Ohio State - Same dynamic as above

Northwestern at Purdue - Want Northwestern to be ranked as high as possible

UDFG at Pitt - Want them as high as possible in the rankings when Stanford plays them

Washington at Utah - Want Utah to win out until Pac-12 CG

ASU at WSU - Want WSU to win out

UCLA at Oregon State - Want UCLA to win all games but against Utah
