FWIW, this week's games did have a modest negative effect for Stanford's ranking in two statistical systems:

Sagarin ranked Stanford #13 going into the week, and now the Cardinal's down to #14. Meanwhile, in ESPN's system, Stanford went from 9 expected wins and the #12 ranking to 8.8 expected wins and #13.

EDIT: make that three -- S&P+ dropped Stanford a spot, from 15 to 16, as well: https://www.sbnation.com/college-footbal...-130-teams
