The Stanford offense (#76) isn't quite as they looked prior to last week. They are still last in the conference, but it helps that they shellacked an incredibly bad Oregon defense last week. Some people are running around saying that Stanford is rolling, but they really haven't played a good team since losing to Colorado. I am not saying Stanford isn't a good team, but lets not forget what happened to them when they played the Washington schools. This week they get Cal so their end of season resurgence is still on schedule.
Stanford is pretty good at Play Efficiency and Negative Drives. They are able to get a good yards per play going and they don't go 3 and out very often. They are also pretty good on 3rd down and at D-plus Plays. This offense doesn't get burned with TFL's or turnovers very often.
Stanford is terrible at Drive Efficiency and on the wrong side of average at Explosive Drives. These are the two most important components of Beta_Rank so this explains there score. Stanford is better at putting up yards than it is points and they really struggle to put up big plays, mostly because their offensive line isn't very good.

Cal's defense (#115) is really bad. They gave up a lot of points to WSU, Washington, and to USC in the last three weeks and they didn't help their offense out much at all in giving them decent field position. Cal is going to have a tough time in this game, not because Stanford's offense is so great, but because Stanford's defense and special teams are going to gift the offense a some good field position more often than not. Cal's underwhelming defense is going to be on a short field.
Cal is ok on 3rd down.
Cal is really bad at Drive Efficiency, Play Efficiency, Explosive Drives, Negative Drives, and D-plus Plays. There just isn't much to hang your hat on here.
