By no means have I put tons of thought into it, but I am a little worried that SC is going to end up 6-6. Fresno State gave up 59 to Utah, so maybe SC's offense isn't quite so special. It seems very likely that their defense is going to wear down over the season, and, anyway, Stanford's offense did put up some decent yardage totals.

The conference trend I have noticed with great interest in catching bits of other conference games is that one-fourth of Stanford's schedule might be worse than last year: Washington giving up 50+ to an FCS team, Oregon State struggling with Portland State, and Washington State winless after losing to Rutgers and Nevada. This could be a big break for Stanford if it holds up.
