the committee probably views Stanford as a very good team that had a couple of early season losses with a QB that is no longer starting.

Speaking of...

I wonder how or if the coaching staff's thinking evolves on how to determine starters, and how long to stay with an ineffective starter.  It's simple for me to Monday morning quarterback the decision to go with Chryst and stay with him for so long, when (in my eyes) Costello appeared to be so much more effective.  I find myself asking, could we be 11-1 if Costello was the starter all season?

More to the point, this season's nearly over.  How will this experience affect the coaching staff's willingness to pull the trigger in the future?
