This is an article about how Stanford is now playing like a Top 5 team.

Quote 1: "Look, the Northwestern loss isn't going to make sense."
(This quote I found mildly annoying)

Quote 2: "It's impossible to reconcile the performance of that team (Stanford at the time of the NU game) -- uncertain, physical without a purpose, incapable of actually punching the ball into the end zone -- with what we've since seen. (Well, it's at least a little bit possible because Northwestern's defense is still the best the Cardinal has seen. But the contrast has been ridiculous.)"
(I generally liked this quote.)
 
NU is practically going to have to run the table for this narrative to end. At some point - maybe when both teams are in the top 10 - some experts will consider the game a "good loss" against a great team. If NU goes 7-5 or something, it's going to remain a fluke, at least to casual observers.

At least WE know the truth.
