Apparently FPI has Stanford as the 31st ranked team going into the 2020 season:https://www.ruleoftree.com/2020/5/7/21248083/stanford-cardinal-football-power-index-espn-david-shaw-davis-mills

That's higher than I would've guessed, although it still has us pegged as 7-5, which seems about where most fans have us.

If we don't get devastated with injuries this year (particularly to Mills) that strikes me as reasonable.
Had we played William and Mary instead of UCF, and won two very winnable games against Colorado and Kal, we would have gone 7-5 last year.

P.S. If you can stand another article about Josh Rosen and Stanford, here you go.

The irony is Rosen never beat STanford.  Hell, Stanford beat UCLA and Rosen with Ryan Burns at QB

BC

Does Stanford score zero offensive touchdowns out of garbage time against Washington, Wazzu, and Colorado with Rosen at QB?  Doubtful.
