Stanford currently scheduled to play at Rice in 2017.  If Stanford plays at San Diego St as well, the schedule will only have 6 home games (5 conference games plus the University of Dead Fake Girlfriends). 

Stanford still has a hole in the schedule in 2016 for an OOC opponent.  Only Rice and the University of Dead Fake Girlfriends on the schedule right now.

6 home games is not uncommon, it has happened almost every recent even year.  Perhaps they are just switching the 6 v 7 home game years from even to odd.

The convention has been 7 home games in odd years and 6 in even years.  This has been predicated on playing 2 OOC home games each year.  It is rare for Stanford to play 2 away OOC games in a season.  Looking back to 2000, it has happened only twice.  In 2002 Stanford went to BC and ND.  In 2008 Stanford went to TCU and ND.  In both seasons, Stanford only played 5 home games.  I expect the AD to do everything to avoid that situation.  Stanford must be looking for a home game for 2016.
