Stanford's uneven schedule was made worse with our move to the Pac 12 North and the heightened stakes of the Oregon game. Look at this year's home schedule bob-bons: Oregon, Notre Dame, UCLA, Big Game and emerging South power ASU. If you don 't like that schedule you don 't like college football.
Next year? Stanford's opponents amount to USC and not much when it comes to marquee eye candy for the casual fan. It's no wonder the AD was working with Cal to balance our schedule. Perhaps if Oregon falls off and UW takes up the slack this will not be quite as lop-sided but that still looks years away and even then doesn't even the gap.
On the odd years the AD sells the program, not the schedule. On the even years they grow our base.
