As with most "respect" issues, it cuts both ways:
1) It's ridiculous our ranking didn't improve more.
2) I see many bowl-projection people assuming a Cardinal loss to UCLA--and putting Stanford in a BCS bowl regardless. This seems highly surprising to me -- I had assumed we would not be a sufficiently attractive quantity. But who knows.
Anyway, whatever. Just win out (which will be quite hard) and the rest will take care of itself.
