Stanford does not play an SEC schedule.

Seriously, Stanford avoids playing pretty much any and all SEC schools. Seems like Stanford has played SEC teams like a dozen times in their football history and most of those were with Tulane when they were in the SEC. Mason came from Stanford and look at how he has done paling an SEC schedule.

I know SEC homers love to think of their conference as the end all and be all, but Vandy would suck even in the PAC 12 whereas Sanford would give most of the SEC teams at the top a run for their money. Actually think Stanford could win the East and probably finish 2nd in the West. They are well coached with a workable scheme on offense and a good defense. AAAAAANNNNNDDDD

Unlike Alabama, LSU, Ole Miss and most of the other schools in the SEC, their players can read at or above grade level....none of the see spot run stuff, also the players are required to have legit majors....none of this Sports Management/Information degrees.

You're talking out of your arse.

Stanford's annual game with Notre Dame puts it on par with any OOC played by the one or two teams like Alabama and LSU that actually schedule top OOC opponents.

I'm not sure you are correct that Stanford has avoided the SEC. My understanding is that they have tried to schedule games, given their success with recruiting football players from the south.

Let's be real, Vanderbilts schedule is much easier than Stanfords, it's not even close. Stanford played Oregon, Notre Dame, USC, and UCLA who are all better than any team Vandy played with the possible exception of Tennessee.
