Well this is the problem with beating everyone. UW would be a top 20 team if UW beat Stanford. And in Wilner's wacky world, that would be more noteworthy.
Wilner put Stanford at #7. Thankfully, after last night I think most national writers can understand that Wilner just doesn't get it. Wilner, once again, picked the other team to cover. Since Wilner is in love with SEC-style speed, my guess is he will pick SC to cover next week.
Stanford wins in ways that Wilner does not value or understand. Power, TEs, team defense, great line play, and the best QB in college football. Put it all together and it is just too much for Wilner to appreciate. Far easier to keep Boise State, Clemson and the like ahead of Stanford. After all Clemson has the best.....ummm....well...anyway they should be ranked ahead of Stanford. Yes, yes, they should.
I would care more if Stanford needed hype to get ticket sales up, but the venue is sold out.
I would care more if Stanford needed AP votes to move up in the BCS, but the AP is not part of the BCS formula.
