I get the fact that LSU is guaranteed a spot in the NC game by virtue of being an SEC team. But who could possibly say who may be best between OSU and Standford? And what if Cupcake State remains unbeaten? Or hell, what about the Houston? This is why I loathe the BCS.
If OSU remains unbeaten, having wins over Kansas St., Texas, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma on their resume, they'll deserve the nod over Stanford. Not Stanford's fault, but their schedule really isn't any tougher than Boise's.
Both Mark Schlabach and Brad Edwards have a week 10 projection of LSU vs OSU in the NC. Apparently, neither expect to see Stanford in the NC game. They part company and are split when it comes to the RB - one vote UO, one Trees. One has Ducks to RB and Stanford to Sugar. They have BSU going to Sugar or Fiesta. http://espn.go.com/college-football/bowls/projections
Yep. The only big team Stanford would have beaten is Oregon... a huge win, for sure, but only one big win. Ed O.
