Would anyone like to revise their prediction for Stanford wins this season?

I picked 4-8. I saw a lot of promise under the lights in L.A. but I'll stay put until after the UCLA game. And again, it's about staying healthy. McKee goes down and they could flounder to no more than 3 wins, if that.

Wouldn't most teams struggle if they loose their starting QB? We tend to make predictions based on relative health of team assumptions.

Not the teams with depth on both sides. And a stout defense -- which is key. Two particular deficiencies on this team this year. Most quality teams also have a more-than-adequate back-up QB. Not this team. You want to hope McKee's health parallels Hogan's.
