2. Stanford

While many would be inclined to rank UCLA as the second best team in the PAC-12 Conference, they still have much to prove. UCLA head football coach Jim Mora reminded us all on media day that the Bruins are 0-3 against the Cardinal in his tenure at UCLA. Stanford seems to have found a plug and play system that functions well no matter who is plugged in where, and with David Shaw at the wheel, and Kevin Hogan taking snaps, they are still the PAC-12’s #2 in my book.
