I am thrilled for the team and their position at the top of the conference. But the final record has definitely been enhanced by the schedule. Stanford only played 6 games vs. the other top 6 teams (USC, UCLA, Utah, Colorado, OSU). In contrast, USC, UCLA, Utah, Colorado and Oregon State played 9 games vs. the other top 6 for them. Those 3 games likely helped to separate Stanford from the pack.
