The PAC 12 should be the last conference to have a Friday night Championship.
5PM local time makes for tough attendance.

but 10 eastern means much of country doesn't watch 2nd half or end of game.

scene from Horrible Bosses, when Kevin Spacey announces he will be naming himself the new VP of whatever, and just doubling the size of his office, is right around the corner for Fulmer.

LOL...are you serious?! Come on, man.
Look, I love Harbaugh, but there's no shame in giving credit to his successor at Stanford for - at minimum - maintaining the high levels of performance Harbaugh helped create.
Stanford is probably the most difficult P5 school in the country to consistently excel in football due to the high academic standards required for admission. To Harbaugh's credit, he embraced those standards and took Stanford from tire fire to a BCS game (Orange Bowl), finishing with a 12-1 record in 2010.
Shaw has done pretty damn good since then too. He's gone 64-17 overall (42-12 in the PAC). He's posted a 4-2 bowl record; taken Stanford to 4 BCS / New Years 6 bowl games (including 3 Rose Bowls), and has done a wonderful job this season with a relatively young core of players. They only lose four starters and will be very loaded for next year. Not sure how you can say they are fading at all...And - if your standards for "fading" include multiple Rose / Fiesta Bowls and participating in a conference championship game, I am concerned what your defintion of success looks like for Michigan!

Too many hot takes...
Harbaugh won 12 games one season...his last. As I said before, he inherited a tire fire. So, advancing from three wins to 12 wins is incredible, especially at an institution like Stanford (where admissions requirements for football players are very high).
However, since his departure, Shaw has won 12 games twice, in 2012 and in 2015. Moreover, Shaw has won 10 games every year but one since Harbaugh left. That's pretty freaking good and does not seem to reflect a "fade" in my opinion.
Stanford has maintained what Harbaugh built. And, they are going to be a top-10 team next year with the potential to make a deep run in the PAC.

OK...And I bet Stanford would say, "We could beat Michigan with a healthy defense."
I don't deny UM could beat Stanford. They certainly may be able to; they also may lose. Who the hell knows. But there is not a team in the country who is not dealing with and managing through injuries. It's part of the game. For reference, Stanford is down six players on their defense.

Connecting the dots between this comment and the Patterson thread, we could potentially have four, 4* QBs on our roster next year (Patterson, Peters, McCaffery, and Milton). Talk about a rags-to-riches scenario for us compared to the past decade or so!

USC is doing everything possible to let Stanford into the endzone on this drive.
Defensive holding and pass interference, both of which are apparently OK in the Big Ten, are being called here.
