I think whoever wins that game jumps Bama. I know Stanford is 9-0, and I guess that is your reasoning for saying they should be ahead of Alabama right now. But fuck, Houston is undefeated as well. Why aren't they ahead of Bama? There are 6 one loss teams ahead of them in the BCS for a reason.
They don't have a worth a shit strength of schedule. All bullshit aside, do you honestly think a 9-0 Stanford is a better team than an 8-1 Alabama?
All bullshit aside, they're kicking the shit out of weaker competition. But that's the way the system works. What's weaker competition is objective. They're record is not. As I said, I've always been on the "fuck Boise" bandwagon, but this time they should get in. This time they put up and beat a "good" SEC team. The impending East Champions. Houston's still a different story. There's literally not a damn team on their schedule besides UCLA, and that's not amazing. I can can understand them behind many of the 1-loss teams, namely Oregon, Oklahoma, and Bama. Maybe even Arkansas. Clemson and Virginia Tech shouldn't be, IMO.
