Two Lou Holtz factoids and an ESPN trend that point to Stanford:
--Holtz noted that Big 10 teams have lost last 9 of 10 Rose Bowls they've been in.
--Holtz also pointed out that Stanford's senior Crusher Rusher, Tyler Gaffney, didn't even play football his junior year, opting for baseball instead--and it has taken Gaffney at least five games to get his legs back into top football shape.
--ESPN has been uncannily accurate in its "rating system predictions" that have appeared in a scroll at the bottom of the screen. Wish I'd kept stats, but I'm confident if one played every bowl game so far, he or she would have picked not only the winner but covered the spread in most games. Only three exceptions come to mind: Geo. Tech beating Ole Miss, Minny beating Syracuse, and Arizona State stomping Texas Tech by 22 (Ouch!).... ESPN is predicting Stanford by 3 over MSU.
