Stanford took two out of three at UA this weekend, bringing its record to a not-quite-mediocre-but-improving 24-21, 11-13 in Pac-12. Stanford is in 7th place in conference, one game behind WSU, which visits the Farm for a three-game series beginning on Friday. If you get Pac-12 Networks, every game of the WSU series will be televised live.
Stanford's RPI is a solid 32, due mostly to its #6 strength of schedule. I heard some announcers on Pac-12 Networks say that an 8-3 finish--4 out of 6 vs WSU and Utah and non-conference wins vs SJSU and Pacific--would give the team a realistic shot at a bid to the NCAA tournament.

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)
