Stanford (5-2, 4-1 conference) - Congratulations to the Cardinal, who have ascended to the top spot thanks to their skillful decision not to play football this week, and thus not embarrass themselves like some of the other top teams from last week. The Cardinal have looked really good since stumbling out of the gate, to the point where I’d consider them the favorite in the North, and if they hadn’t lost to San Diego State, they’d be a possible CFP contender. As it is, they’d need some help to get in, but it’s not impossible at the moment.
