The simplest explanation is usually the right one:

Buncom's skills are better suited to safety.  He was a jack of all trades in high school, even playing a lot of linebacker as a senior.  He got some chances to play CB for Stanford and did not shine, so I'm excited to see him try FS. 

Interesting take as I thought the reviews on him as corner were pretty favorable when he was pressed into action after Holder went down. He seemed to surpass or get better reviews than two more experienced CBs in the playing rotation (Murphy and Alexander).

Buncom initially got a lot of reps when Holder went down, but those reps diminished over time.  Buncom got virtually no reps in the Sun Bowl until Meeks went down on the last drive of Q4.  I am not an expert in evaluation, but I've read accounts elsewhere from folks who thought Buncom did not look good in the few reps he got in the Sun Bowl.
