Stanford had the advantage of an extra win. By the logic they used for FSU’s loss, however, Stanford should be down near FSU in the rankings, or FSU should be up where they are.
Stanford has the much better schedule than FSU.
Stanford played 13 games, 10 games were against teams in a post season bowl, one loss was at ND on a questionable call, and one win was on the road at Oregon and they also beat a 9-2 UCLA team twice to end the season.
Fl ST. played games against 5 teams going to a bowl.
