After defeating No. 22 Notre Dame 28-14 Saturday night, the Cardinal moved up two spots in the BCS standings to No. 4.
LSU and Alabama are No. 1 and No. 2 respectively, with the Oklahoma State Cowboys checking in at No. 3.
Alabama's regular season is over, and is considered a lock to play in the BCS title game.

Meanwhile, LSU will play Georgia in next Saturday's SEC championship game, and if they were to be blown out by the Bulldogs, they could theoretically fall out of the BCS title game picture.
However, with a win over Georgia, LSU will stay at No. 1, and Alabama will get their shot at redemption against the Tigers in the BCS National Championship Game.
If No. 3 Oklahoma State falls at home to No. 10 Oklahoma, Stanford would most likely finish the season at No. 3 in the BCS, unless No. 5 Virginia Tech defeats Clemson in the ACC Championship game and leapfrogs the Cardinal.
The only blemish on Stanford's resume is a 53-30 loss to No. 9 Oregon, who will host UCLA in the inaugural Pac-12 Championship Game on Friday.
