Top 25 teams like Stanford should always play other Top 25 teams or teams in their conference, period.

Playing a perennially weak Army (only 3 times in the past 20 years have they had a winning season), doesn't count for anything--unless Stanford lose, in which case they can kiss all post-season hopes goodbye.
