Stanford Cardinal rank #119 among FBS teams in the Predictium ratings with an opponent-adjusted net rating of -0.049 points per play (Elo 1498), a 1-0 record in the ACC, and 100% of that rating still riding on preseason priors.
Ratings
Offense and Defense are the net rating's own split (offense − defense reconciles to net rating exactly); everything else is opponent-adjusted, per play. Defensive numbers are from the defense's perspective: negative means opponents produced less than expected. SOS is the mean net rating of every opponent on the schedule.
