2026 Stanford Football predictions - Papa John - 07-29-2026

With ACC media days behind us, here's your chance to prognosticate re: Stanford's football fortunes this fall. This poll is for the regular season only!

Stanford hasn't had a "full" winning season since 2018. The only worse stretch was 2002-2008, although there were plenty of reasons for optimism in Jim Harbaugh's first two seasons (2007-2008). Is this the year that Stanford climbs back to respectability?

My guess is it is somewhere around 4-6. I chose 5.
Tough schedule though. So I would have to say I'm being optimistic.

Any bonus points for moral victories?
Negative points for embarrassing beat downs?

2 wins is actually a horrible possibility if all the wheels fall off, and would have fans wearing paper bags on our heads.
3 is not unlikely and would be a hu.ge disappointment for new Coach Pritchard I'm sure.
4 is my pick. Which I think is actually optimistic given an overall very tough schedule.
5 would be a very good result in my book and I'd tip my cap with kudos to players and coaches.
6 would have me jumping up and down and pee my pants like an unhousebroken puppy.

As always, I hope I'm proven wrong with the team exceeding my very restrained expectations.
