Here is a point in Stanford's favor.  The team won 5 true road games this year.  Only one team won more - Western Michigan.

Looks to me like the Committee spent all its time on Penn State vs. Washington for the #4 slot and then rushed through the rest of the rankings.

HisKneeWasDown - one small edit to the final rankings - Auburn is 8-4, not 9-3.
