Gerhart, Luck(x2), CMac, and Love. There does seem to be a pattern.

Somewhat ironically, I think future versions of those gentlemen will benefit from being in the ACC or whatever All-Colossal Conference results from the next negotiated viewing rights contract. At least Stanford will be playing games in the East, South and Midwest.

Probably not. Those weirdos out west will be resented stepchildren for a long time. Did we ever really accept Colorado?

Did we ever really accept ASU :-)?
IMO there is also a fair bit of what amounts to anti-Stanford bias. There is a general assumption that Stanford isn't really a "serious" football school and therefore if Stanford appears to have a real good player, it is marked with an asterisk. It just can't true, and JP winning was definitely a unicorn.
