The paparazzi’s gaga over Stanford, but it could turn out to be a bad romance

Ted Miller points out that Stanford doesn’t play Utah or Arizona State, has Oregon. Notre Dame and Cal at home, and concludes the Cardinal might make a run at the national title.

He’s right that the schedule is favorable, but the coaching change, two new coordinators, the loss of the top three receivers, three offensive linemen (including Chase Beeler) and nose tackle Sione Fua, cornerback Richard Sherman and fullback/linebacker Owen Marecic point in the other direction.

Andrew Luck is a great college quarterback, but he can’t win 12 games by himself.
