Bill Connelly Gives His Take on Where Stanford Is in the Pecking Order

Scott Olmos-USA TODAY Sports

SB Nation's own director of analytics weighs in on the Pac-12 and, more specifically, Stanford.

Bill Connelly, the director of analytics at SB Nation and inventor of the S&P; statistical model, joins host Matt Vassar on this episode of Cardinal CounTree. We talk a bit about how Stanford's offense is currently ranked even better than Oregon's, and what the pecking order is in the Pac-12. We also talk about why S&P; isn't as high on Utah as some other projections. Matt also talks a bit about Stanford's upcoming game against reigning Pac-12 South champion, Arizona, and how Arizona has made a rapid ascension under current head coach, Rich Rodriguez. He also covers key injuries from both Arizona and Stanford, and comments on how they might affect the game.
