Nope. It's simply not credible to claim McKee didn't demonstrate he was the better QB in practices. There was an ulterior motive and it arguably cost Stanford a game and national TV embarrassment. 

I had someone close to the program tell me Stanford's football people were putting out some bullshit about McKee didn't know the playbook as an excuse for why West started. To me, and I said this before the game started, it was just cover in case West didn't perform well. McKee didn't miraculously learn the playbook in one week before the USC game.

BC rightly invokes Occam's razor for the explanation of why West got the start against K-State.

I suggest Hanlon's razor applies here, vis-a-vis your "ulterior motive" hypothesis.  Unless such claims can meet the Sagan standard, they should be taken by way of Hitchen's razor.
