6th in the North for Stanford (and a good summation of Board discussions here):
"6. Stanford: The wheels fell off in 2021, exposing serious deficiencies in talent, speed, depth and physicality. (Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?) Tanner McKee is a high-level passer, but the Cardinal cannot return to respectability without a vastly-improved running game. Defensively, there isn't much reason to expect an uptick. The transfer portal unquestionably has made life more difficult for academically-oriented schools like Stanford (and Cal, for that matter). To offset the impact, everything else about the competitive operation must be better, including scheme and recruiting."
