This is a telling season for Stanford’s trajectory. The Cardinal isn’t the dominant force it was in the first half of the decade and hasn’t won the conference since 2015. But its position in the North has been fairly steady: Top half of the division in even years, four consecutive first-place finishes (outright or shared) in odd years. So here’s another odd year, with home games against Oregon and Washington — and no Utah, home or away — and an opportunity to fortify its position. By Thanksgiving, we’ll know if the Cardinal truly has lost ground within the North.

By Thanksgiving?!  We should know exactly how good we are after Oct 5 (UW, with Oregon 2 weeks before that).

More garbage from the Clickbaiter-in-Chief. He says it's "make or break" and then predicts 8-4. A lot of his predictions depend on U$C being a world-beater that they haven't been since they were cheating under Sleazy Pete. Yes, OSU is a trap game, but they're still no better than 3-6 in conference.

When you have this tough a schedule and so few returning starters, it's not make or break.

Agree. We could feasibly have 15+ starters come back next year from this team. Very young, especially on D.
