The Stanford men (NET ranking of 155), after the annual fall finals hiatus, resume conference play versus the struggling Ducks (130 NET) on Sunday. Although NET rankings are more unreliable than normal this early in the season, neither team has defeated a Quad 1 opponent. Both teams are 0-1 in the conference, with Stanford's loss at Coloardo and Oregon's loss a close one at home versus ASU. The Cardinal are 4-0 at home, so maybe they can continue that streak on Sunday.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
