I'd love to see us in the Holiday Bowl, but important to remember that thanks to Larry Scott, bowls can pick a team with the same record or one more conference loss than the "best team available."

UW 7-2
WSU 7-2
Utah 6-3
Stanford 6-3
Oregon 5-4
ASU 5-4
Cal 4-5

Alamo could pick Utah, Stanford, Oregon, or ASU. Same story for Holiday and Red Box.

Bowls are first and foremost about money, which means that Stanford could slip all the way to the Sun Bowl.

What Bowl Committee wouldn't want the "high flying" Stanford offense in their game?  I don't know if y'all realize it, but KJ Costello is one of the top QBs in the country, and Stanford is averaging more points (40) than Oregon (37), leading the Pac-12 in scoring over its last three games.

 

Roger that on KJ Big TIme:  With one game to go, KJ Costello wields the best PASSER rating in the Pac12 (159.1), on 367 attempts. Minshew (a 148 rating) throws for more yards per game and has 36 passing TDs (613 attempts), but Costello books more yards PER ATTEMPT (8.7yds > 7.3 for Minshew), with 28 TDs after tossing FIVE six-pointers vs UCLA.

BOYCOTT the SF RedBox (Dec. 31) -- we hate it.  The Dorms are closed (LOCKED !); the students are GONE !   
Tell SI / ESPN / CBS that Stanford is NOT a commuter school.  PUH-LEASE.  
Alumni are all over the country, lots in SoCal, not just NorCal.  The players are from all over USA.  
Levi is NOT a home game for Stanford.  It might as well be the West Coast Pinstripe Bowl. 
Give it to a couple of PARKA Schools -- Oregon vs Iowa sounds nice.  Take your ice-scraper to the tail-gater. 

Yes, yes -- Beat the Bears soundly first. Got it.  But, we are sketching here the PURGATORY that awaits us IF WE LOSE TO KAL.  
Win and get the Holiday (Dec. 31 at 4pm PT)... perhaps.   Lose and fall to Redbox or even the Count-yer-chips Vegas Bowl.  
If Fresno State snags the Vegas Bowl, Jeff Tedford (Kal 2002-2012) would LOVE a vengeful shot at a mopey Cardinal.
