Stanford won four true road games in successive weeks last fall. Forget successive weeks, so here's how many teams in the other power 5 conferences won four true road games *all season long:*
Pac-12: No one (only two teams even had 4 or more wins--Oregon and SC)
ACC: UND, 4-0 on the road; Miami, 4-1;
Big 12: No one
B1G: No one
SEC: Georgia, 4-1; Alabama, 5-0; Texas A&M, 4-1
The 2020 season was an amazing feat for Stanford football, especially considering we were coming off the 2019 4-8 disaster. I'm bullish on 2021. Assuming health holds up, 7 wins at minimum.

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
