Actually, I like the timing of Stanford's OOC games vs ranked teams
towards the latter portion of their OOC schedule, 
which are on the road vs #7 LSU next week
and on a neutral site close to home vs #11 Ohio State
right before the Christmas break and the start of ACC conference play.

Both LSU and Ohio State are currently ranked higher 
than all ACC teams except for current #3 Notre Dame,
with the latter really being a cut above everybody else.

And both LSU and Ohio State will provide the Cardinal
a similar taste of how it is to compete vs the rest 
of the ACC ranked teams including current #13 Duke,
#16 North Carolina, #20 NC State and #24 Louisville.
