Rankings from AP Poll

E. J. Smith, son of all-time leading rusher in National Football League (NFL) history, Emmitt Smith, was the team's top running back.

It was Stanford's second straight season at 3–9; just over an hour after the season finale, a home loss to BYU on November 26, Shaw resigned effective immediately. Two weeks later, he was succeeded by Troy Taylor, the head coach at Sacramento State.
