We're Going Bowling!

Not so fun? Watching Lane Kiffin keep Barkley out there for the whole game.

If Virginia Tech wins next week vs. Clemson, it’ll likely keep Stanford out of the Top 4, which is a joke.

Stanford up to #4. But more importantly, the difference with VTech decreased from 0.0135 to 0.0014. In Sagarin, Stanford went from #11 to #10, and VTech dropped from #18 to #19 (this is their worst ranking, so it doesn’t count).

I thought Stanford might overtake VTech in the BCS by a hair because of the bump in the computers. But I expected the humans to knock Stanford a tad (which they did in the AP poll).
I now think Stanford will be #4 in the BCS by a pretty decent margin. But probably, still not enough if VTech wins the ACC.

As an aside note, if Stanford doesn’t get a BCS berth, the Pac-12 is going to have a very good record in the bowls!

he is still behind Richardson….with that being said…RGIII can still win it with a great performance next week against Texas.

And they need to get to #14 for an at-large berth.
After the championship games they’ll pass Georgia and Wisconsin/MSU, but if Baylor beats Texas, they might end up #15.

That would all but assure BCS for Stanford in the case they end up #5.

…and would pretty much end the BCS system.

would be a travesty for Michigan to take OkSt’s at large slot.

Prior to 2010, Stanford had only had three 10-win seasons in its history. Last year, the Cardinal recorded its first season with 11 or more wins, finishing 12-1. Now Stanford has ended the regular season at 11-1 and has a chance to win a new year’s bowl. What’s more, the team has won 31 games in a three-year span starting with the 2009 season.

Toby Gerhart and Andrew Luck have been the two players who keyed an era of Stanford football success like none other. Although neither has won a Heisman Trophy, each player finished second over the past two years, and Luck may yet win the top prize.

I look forward to a fantastic finish to a terrific season in early January 2012!
