As of January 31, Stanford has dropped to 57 in the NET rankings. 2-4 in quad 1 games and 2-2 in quad 2. Really need a win over SC (26 NET) and a sweep of Cal (179 NET). Lunardi at ESPN still has Stanford as last four in, but there is no margin for error.
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)
