I do think they start the season 6-0.  USC is ***NOT*** all that, UW isn't ready yet especially with a freshman QB on top of a new HC/system, and ND is reeling from yet another major issue in the program that has cost them 3 starters.

Could they lose one of those three - absolutely.  But the real test comes in the third quarter of the season with @ASU, OSU, and @UO.  If they come out of that 8-1 or better, then we can start talking about being in Pasadena a third consecutive year.

ASU with only two starting defensive players coming back will be no issue for the Mighty Cardinal. GO STANFORD!!

Just one more week to go!!  ;D 8) :D

USC, Notre Dame, Washington, Utah, ASU, and UCLA will all pose considerable challenges for the Cardinal. There may be a Utah-like team lurking in the bushes, as well.

University of Spoiled Children , the University of Dead Fake Girlfriends, Washington, Utah, ASU, and UCLA will all pose considerable challenges for the Cardinal. There may be a Utah-like team lurking in the bushes, as well.

Well, hell, you can't have strength of schedule without a difficult schedule.  Granted it could have been spaced a little more favorably but one way or another the promised land lays through those teams.  Go Stanford!
