Behind the paywall at ESPN and his site, so I can't give details, but he is calling Stanford the #1 potential "surprise team" for this season. He has been pretty consistently positive on Stanford in the preseason, in large part on the basis of performance in the last three games of the last season.
I think a great deal depends on the USC game. If we kick their arses, the trajectory will be very strong on the upside. If we don't though, it could still work out, since we always seem to need to have our butts kicked to get motivated, so it could work out either way.
