The Stanford Cardinal who split two games with the two toughest teams in the Pac 12 this past week losing to Colorado and the next game defeating Utah. If you look at the landscape of the Pac 12 there’s a lot of parity. You look at as flow charts like the image of Colorado.

Stanford beats Utah, Utah beat Colorado, Colorado beats Stanford it’s a weird triangle, there’s a lot of that going on the Pac 12. Oregon State beats Cal,  Cal beats Oregon it’s circular. So Stanford is picking up a win in the standings but it’s going to be a dogfight in the Pac 12 this season.

There’s a lot of big teams that are picking up wins and their picking up losses but you look at Arizona who was at UCLA so there’s going to be a lot of parity in the Pac 12 Conference. It’s important for Stanford to win their game in Oregon Sunday as expected and it’s important for them to win the games that are coin flips.
