PALO ALTO–Stanford Cardinal are now ranked seventh in the nation according to the coaches poll. On Saturday’s game the Cardinal rushed for 275 yards they took control of the ball and they did all the things that they were suppose to do. The defense shut down the Colorado offense and what can you say about them they’ve been doing it all year except for the loss against Northwestern.

The Cardinal need to get a win over Oregon Saturday at Stanford Stadium they will clinch the Pac 12 Northern division crown for a third time in four years. The contest is going to be very tough on Saturday , the Oregon Ducks have won three straight, they have had three loses this season and had a pretty good season.

The Ducks have lost to Michigan State which is a ranked school and it’s possible that Michigan State will go to the Rose Bowl. They might see Stanford at the Rose Bowl if things end up they way it’s been going. Ohio State will end up the National Championship like they were last year. They might end up seeing the University of Michigan.
