This team is not BCS worthy. Accept that reality and then they look OK. Teams ranked 15-25 win and lose random games all of the time. Sometimes they rise up and beat top 5 teams, other times they look terrible against unranked teams. To slice and dice each game to identify a season trend is difficult with those types of mid-tier teams.
Stanford could easily win every game left of the schedule, with the exception of Oregon.
Stanford could easily lose every game left of the schedule, with the possible exception of Colorado and Wazzu.
Against UW - The D was solid, the running game was mediocre and the passing was terrible.
Against UofA - The QB was solid, the running game was decent and the defense was not great.
I WANT to give the DBs a pass because Brown was hurt on the 1st defensive play and that seemed to be a big problem. I would like to believe the team has depth at every position, but if they did they would be a BCS-level team.
After watching SJSU and UofA I have a bad feeling about how ugly Oregon to become, but outside of that game I suspect the other games will be stressful, entertaining and close with different stars and goats each Saturday.
