Oklahoma State is deserving to be ranked high, and they have played tougher road games than Stanford. But if Stanford beats the University of South Central next week, they should go to #3. But even if they only stayed at #4, beating Oregon would vault them to #3.
Basically, Oklahoma and Wisconsin losing opens the door for Stanford to play in the BCS Championship game.
Wilner's vote means nothing except as a means to make him look foolish.
Stanford is projected at #4 for the BCS by the ESPN expert. That's probably right, and hopefully that is close enough. LSU and Alabama play each other, and Stanford is close enough that the loser should fall well below Stanford. That leaves Oklahoma State and that SEC game winner. If those two teams win out then Stanford will not pass either one, but Stanford is next in line.
The BCS stuff all falls apart with a Stanford loss, so hopefully the team will keep winning.
Edit: Hmmmm, another ESPN expert has Stanford at #6. Probably a computer thing, and yet it is hard to believe Clemson or Boise State stay ahead of Stanford as the Stanford SOS gets better and better.
