FSU - 20W 12L, 7 and 9 in conference with 1 win in the tourney, RPI is 42, SOS 17, last 10=4-6, Rd/Neut=6-9, Bad losses (not top 50) - NONE, Good wins - Duke, Florida, Va Tech, Maryland
Stanford - 18W 12L, 10 and 8 in conference, no tourney wins, RPI is 66(!!), SOS 28, last 10=4-6, Rd/Neut-6-7, Bad losses (not top 50) - Santa Clara, Cal, Gonzaga, Washington, Good wins - Oregon, SC, UCLA, Wazzu
I'm not saying Florida State deserves to get in necessarily, but why is Stanford in the discussion? If it came down to these two teams, FSU has no losses outside top 50, better SOS and RPI and beaten as many good teams. They are basically equal everywhere else except conference schedule. We all know how top heavy (or perhaps bottom light) the Pac 10 is.
I guess we'll see, but if Stanford gets in, there will certainly be some unhappy teams out there.
