Maybe I'm just slow, but why doesn't this work?

1. c7   nfd6

2. c8=B (Or Q or whatever)  Bd4!

BxB7 isn't Checkmate, and Nxb7 isn't stalemate because the bishop isn't guarding b8 anymore.

Obviously there are a bunch of variations white can play out, but with the huge lead in material it's a clear win for black. 

So what am I missing? : D
