Is STANFORD a Pac-10 contender this season in football?

I know, I know, it sounds ridiculous, but think about it this way. whoever loses today in Berkley will already have two losses on their record after just five games- not real contenders if you ask me. So that leaves the winner as the obvious front runner, but Stanford is 4-1 right now... their next three games are against some really shitty teams... (well, that are beatable anyway) and with the top of the conference looking the way it is do you think that the Cardinal may win some really big games and sneak in there?
