1 loss doesn't eliminate them. Hurts for sure but doesn't eliminate.

Oregon hasn't even played them yet.

Get back to us when they do.

LOL. Your team kicked their ass on offense and defense in Palo Alto. They survived at home against a team which will likely have 4-5 losses solely because of Special Teams. They got outgained by Arizona State, and they barely beat Army. And then they lost their first road game to a team with a pulse.

They are as much of a title threat as Eastern Michigan at this point. I'm looking forward to watching them get beaten by UCLA this weekend.

It amazes me that people still are pretending like Stanford is a great team. So far this year, they have pretty much been Michigan with a good returnman.

Where do you get anything other than I think Stanford is overrated?

I mean, Oregon beat us in a Rose Bowl I cared about 1,000 time more (and actually attended) and my "butthurt" towards Oregon was to pick them to win the national title and rank them #1 the entire season.

Have you ever thought that maybe I think Stanford is overrated, I dont know.....because they are fucking overrated? Stanford isn't good. It has nothing to do with my feeling towards a bowl game that I didn't get a shit about and everything to do with the fact that every objective measure says they aren't a top 15 team.

Here's my poll from November 25, 2012 (before we clinched playing Stanford). Everyone else had them ranked as a top 8 team. My poll:

1. Notre Dame (1)
2. Alabama (2)
3. Ohio State (3)
4. Georgia (4)
5. Oregon (5)
6. Florida (6)
7. Kansas State (7)
8. LSU (9)
9. Oklahoma (11)
10. TAMU (12)
11. Stanford (13)

And here's my post before the Rose Bowl game where I predicted Stanford winning:

I've said ever since the TCU game that we were gonna become the Buffalo Bills of the Rose Bowl.

It's almost as if i've been intellectually consistent. I know, crazy, right?

No, you are not in the minority.

From what I have seen from the media picks and folks here its about Stanford 60/40.

I think Stanford wins. They are a good team still. Just cant see them losing this one after the huge disappointment.

"They are who we thought they were!!! If you wanna crown em then crown their ass. THEY ARE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE AND WE LET EM OFF THE HOOK!!!!"


As Bobby the Brain Hennan would say, "ooooooooooooooooooh yes!"

Oregon is JUST what I said they were all year. Stanford, Auburn, LSU, see a trend? :whistle:

I'm sorry Mamba, but you have to admit that Oregon just doesn't have the horses right now to hang with a physical, disciplined team.

Not that, but a eam that can get a pass rush with only four.

Point of thread stands true. Stanford loses games they shouldn't as stated in the op.

They are Oregon's kryptonite though, That is apparent.

Cant wait til this class graduates after this season. Holy crap they beat Oregon freaking twice.

Dangit.

The pac is damn near impossible to go undefeated in. Oregon is the only team to do it since we went to a 9 game conference schedule.

EVERYONE loses games they shouldn't in the PAC.
