Is this the year that Stanford climbs back to respectability?

My prediction - No. Stanford does not have the speed, strength or depth on either side of the ball to compete with the better teams on its schedule. 

I do think that Stanford can be competitive with the bottom half of the conference as was the case last year when Stanford beat Cal, BC and Florida State and lost to UNC. None of them finished with a winning record in conference.
