Outstanding class, doesn't yet crack the top six or seven but those classes will attrit and this one won't.
To wit, I started putting some numbers to this before the '13 season but was too lazy to finish -- though I confined it to Pac-12 plus N.D. Essentially, if you look at the classes of '08 thru '12 and account for bad attrition plus major injuries, Stanford gets some significant advantages. (METHODOLOGICAL NOTE: I don't consider early draft entries bad attrition. I wasn't able to account for instances in which the coach, ah, encouraged the attrition along. I count unfilled fifth years as bad attrition. I only counted injuries that took a big chunk of the year. If you feel that unduly distorts the numbers, well, feel free to nudge the numbers.)
Percentage of games lost to attrition
| Games | %age attrition | %age injury[table][tr][td] |
| SC | 12.94% | 4.2% |
| UCLA | 13.03% | 3.23% |
| Stanford | 8.64% | 1.23% |
| 59ers | 15.63% | .94% |
| UW | 22.2% | 3.32% |
| N.D. | 14.04% | 1.82% |
