Stanford finished last season with an 8-game winning streak. That's the longest Stanford winning streak in 60 years, going back to 1951 when Stanford won its first 9 games.

Longest winning streaks:

13  1904-05 (last 5 games of '04, all 8 games of '05)
13  1939-41 (last game of '39, all 10 games of '40, first 2 games of '41)
12  1925-26 (last 2 games of '25, first 10 games of '26)

7    1969-70 (last 4 games of '69, first 3 games of '70)
7    1991 (last 7 games of regular season)

Stanford's current 8-game streak is its longest unbeaten streak since 1969-70, when Stanford had a 9-game unbeaten streak (8-0-1).

Stanford has a 7-game winning streak in conference games. So far as I can tell, Stanford's best conference winning streak appears to be 9 games.

Here's another stat. which illustrates why I think people who see this team losing three games are being too pessimistic: In its last 18 games started by Andrew Luck, Stanford has gone 16-2.
