I am pretty sure the secondary market will be loose if Stanford is in town.

My guess is that both Oklahoma and Oklahoma State would do their part.  Oklahoma probably has more fans than OK State, but OK State base would be more excited about the opportunity.

Since Stanford has a reputation for not doing a lot to fill the house, I will probably buy from the AD and suffer in seat quality.  If Stanford has to fill its allotment by donating to local charities or otherwise gifting seats away, that will look bad.  Whether the StubHub prices are $50 or $1000 would seem like a secondary image concern to me.  In the last few years the Fiesta Bowl has seemed to have noticeable sections of empty seats, so I suspect the secondary market will be a viable option for those wanting to economize.

My guess is Stanford will travel better than last year's Big East representative, so it should be alright.

The Sugar Bowl almost always is packed because the SEC top tier teams travel well, and New Orleans is close for all of them.  But if the Sugar has no SEC representative it could be different.
