So many variables in a weird season. Do not discount the fact that training camp was not  what it usually is for Stanford and the other teams and that no PAC 12 team will have warm up games against out of conference opponents to tune up before the conference matchups start. Throw in the possibility of Covid infections/game cancelations as well. This being said, on paper our offense looks very good, and I think our defense will be better than it was last year as I think our front seven is significantly bigger and stronger. Many of our key opponents are rebuilding with new QBs (Oregon, Washington and Washington State), so for me success will mean a trip to the conference championship game.
