Robbie,

You linked to the 2011 preview.  I am anxious to see how the team does in what most certainly will be Andrew Luck's final year of college ball.  I am not sure if Stanford can replace stalwarts like Richard Sherman, Doug Baldwin, Owen Marecic and Chase Beeler.  I'm guessing 8 or 9 wins.

Well replacing Sherman and Baldwin was spotty at best.

Which proves the point, actually. Replacement is overrated. Teams evolve new strengths and new players rather than duplicating exactly what came before.
