Stanford's five losses were to teams in the top right quadrant (above average offense and defense), except for Miami, which has an opponent adjusted defense that is just below the average line. I read an analytics article that Miami hadn't had to really defend in the four games leading up to Notre Dame, but their offense is basically second in the country to Boise State in EPA.
Of note, Virginia Tech is in the above average offense, below average defense category. Stanford's conference wins are now in the below average/ below average quadrant. Cal has an abysmal offense, but their defense is much better than Stanford's defense.
