    No chance Stanford will reach the playoffs, but if they can replace their losses on defense they should be good. I expect the offense to be much improved and play like they did in the last few games of the season.

    Dialed in as usual

    You think they win out the rest of the season? And I was completely dialed in on their offense, but still.

    Gary Beban's sham Heisman weeps at this thread.

    Northwestern loss doesn't look THAT bad now ...

    They have a good chance to run the table as their next 4 are UW, @Wazzu, @Colorado, and Oregon. They should beat Cal ... then get Notre Dame at home. Utah's good but let's also see how they handle success ... they are getting crowned at this point.

    I don't think we have a great handle on who is good/great or not yet this year. If there's one thing that we learned last year, it's that I tend to think it's unlikely that they will put 2 teams from the same conference in the Final Four.

    You could say the same thing last year about Ohio State and Virginia Tech and they let Ohio State in. In fact, since the Northwestern game is such an outlier, it will be viewed as a team trying to find itself early in the season and then learning/growing during the year.

    If I was betting, I'd agree with you that they wouldn't make the playoffs. Clearly though that chance is far greater than zero.

    How do you quantify a "good chance."

    Because if its more than 5% you've lost me.
