STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Andrew Luck cemented his status atop Stanford’s record books, made his final case for the Heisman Trophy and put the program in position for a second straight BCS bowl.

Now he’ll have to wait to see if that’s enough.

With no shot at the Pac-12 championship this week, Luck and the fourth-ranked Cardinal (11-1, 8-1) will be watching with everybody else. Both resumes are remarkably similar to a year ago — when Luck was the Heisman runner-up and Stanford earned an Orange Bowl trip — with the only difference being that the expectations were higher this season.

Bowl matchups will be announced Dec. 4.
