Marty is right, play hard, work hard give it all you have. If they can do that the record does not matter. I think Gene Hackman said it long ago.

That said... 5-7 but a fired up team can beat Cal, so 6-6. Perhaps a better team at the end of the year like 1990.

Stanford's 71 and 72 Rose Bowl teams beat teams that had more talent, and it was just not Ohio State and Michigan that had more talent.  Those Stanford teams played harder than their opponents most of the time with few exceptions (SJS, Cal, WSU, Duke, Air Force).  This year's team just may have enough talent coupled with enough drive to win both the North and sweep both usc and ucla during the regular season.
