2020 Season - 4-2 - Good Enough IMHO

Lost to Oregon without Mills
Lost to Colorado when Mills had no prep
Beat Cal, Washington, Oregon State and UCLA in super close games all on the road.

I suspect the team understands that they were close to much better things than the 4-2 record, but at the same time were fortunate to get to 4-2.   4-2 should really help with recruiting and program morale, so it is all good. 

It seems like this was a very tough season for the players and staffs around the Pac-12.   I think many wanted to play to have a chance at the conference title and maybe the CFP, but once those dreams were shattered it was hard to keep playing.  It was easy to start losing and then keep losing.   Starting 0-2, playing 4 games on the road and finishing 4-2.   Awesome job by the program to stay resilient and keep improving.

FWIW - Washington, Stanford, UCLA, USC and Utah are all opting out of playing in bowl games. 
So for those that think every student-athlete LOVES playing no matter what even in this COVID era, I offer you Washington, Stanford, UCLA, USC and Utah.

Lots Stanford Football needs to address, but hopefully the 4-2 season hints at enough 2021 potential to keep down the number of transfers.

Now that the football season is finished, my focus will move to the idea that Stanford has 8 teams defending NCAA team titles.
