FTR, Big XII is tied to Fiesta. Of course the Fiesta and Orange Bowls don't have the ties to their conferences that Sugar and Rose do so they wouldn't care about taking a conference team. If LSU loses, and it shakes out as OSU-Oregon, I'm guessing Fiesta would take an SEC team, and if not would take a Big XII team. Basically, nobody's taking Stanford as an at-large before the Rose Bowl could.
