Unless Stanford wins by 10+, the ECBB (East Coast Bias Brigade) will say that Iowa was a one-year wonder who really didn't beat anybody.  The benefit of beating tOSU would have been that the ECBB had been hyping them up all year and Stanford would be beating the brand as much as anything else.

When the ECBB looks at Stanford, they see a team whose best recent bowl win and only quality bowl win was the 2010 Orange Bowl and nobody's left from that team (and only a couple from the staff).  Wisconsin doesn't count since they were a 4/5-loss team.

The ECBB will ALWAYS look for a reason to discount the Pac-12.

Then why do you wish we could play along in "their" delusional little game?  Bring on the Hawkeyes!!!!!!
