Couldn't read it all as Stanford was not playing Vandy, Northwestern or Wake Forest for the championship.

Re: Academics and the BCS
HUH? I guess graduating 92% of the white players puts you at a disadvantage....historically black players graduate at a lower rate.
The federal methodology from DOE does not account for transfers out. FSU has a higher, than I think is normal, percentage of black players transfer out to another institution when they won't get playing time. It is the way things are done here...for the player and the program.
When skill positions stack up, guys transfer. When some athletes get in trouble, they have to transfer. And, for one reason or another, they are more likely to be black.
