So what's the point of a season:  to get to the NC game (prove yourself more deserving than all but one other team in the nation), or just to be a really good team?  I'm actually okay with the latter - Stanford has been a very good team the last several years.  But I'm actually more interested in seeing the team play to its talent level (a much harder and subjective evaluation).

Let me ask you this: do you think Stanford should have been in the NC game in any of the last 5 years (i.e., that Stanford  underperformed to talent)?  Despite Stanford's gaudy record over that span, I think that's a legit question.
