[quote author=winflop link=topic=13779.msg144599#msg144599 date=1448833373]Absolutely agree.  But I think Stanford needs UNC or Florida to win to make the playoff.

I just want our boys to win on Saturday and guarantee the Rose Bowl at a minimum against what will likely be a very good Iowa or a rematch against Michigan State.

Supposedly the Rose Bowl will choose the highest-ranked B1G team not in the playoff for their spot. So depending on the outcome of the B1GCG (bad blowout) OSU could sneak back in. We'll get a better idea of that when they release their rankings this week.

Since it's not going to be Michigan I am rooting for Ohio State.  We would be underdogs, no doubt, just like 1971, the first Stanford Rose Bowl I ever saw.
