I think a major factor this season was Stanford. They have always been the out of conference representative in respect to big games. This season, they were one team that scheduled a lot of higher ranked teams and in some of those games they really sucked. Unfortunately they were a young team that was missing key players ( McPhee) early on so they absorbed a lot of out of conference losses to teams they would probably beat now. They always seem to gel late and that sort of distorts the strength of the conference comparative score wise.  While I wouldn't discount early games entirely, It might be a good idea to give the latter games a bit more weight. In retrospect to the conferences image, it might have been better if Stanford had scheduled cup cakes early on.

In respect to Tara, she seems to always do better when her teams have lower expectations, while in games she is expected to win they lose. I have my own theory about that. But all in all Tara is like the "Yellowbeards" they are never more dangerous than when people assume  they are dead. :rolleyes:
