Despite four blowout wins, Stanford hasn’t gained any ground in the AP poll

Well, to be fair, most of those wins have come against FBS teams like Uclol, SJSU, and Duke …

Being an Old Blue means never accepting success.

'Tis true

Wisconsin’s schedule was even softer than Stanford’s before its impressive blowout of Nebraska. I just hope the AP voters would be willing to move Stanford back above Wisconsin after Nov. 12 if the undefeated Cardinal beats Oregon, no matter how badly the undefeated Badgers crush Minnesota that same day.

It sucks to fall two spots in the poll in 2 weeks despite winning two games by a combined score of 82-19, including a more impressive win over a common opponent (at Arizona) than the one by a team that jumped you (Oklahoma State).

There’s no arguing that Stanford lacks a really good win, though. They haven’t had the opportunity.
