I'm hoping Oregon State at Stanford is treated as a big game by Stanford fans, and they create a great atmosphere for it.  I feel confident Stanford will beat Wazzu and Colorado, so I'm looking ahead a bit.  No, Stanford won't be playing for a BCS at-large berth, but it seems likely the Pac-12 North will still be up for grabs and Oregon State will have at large BCS hopes when the teams square off.  That game will be kind of a barometer to demonstrate if Stanford has truly grown its fan base and has tipped to being a mainstay, contending college football program. 

It sure would be nice to see a sold out stadium rocking for an opponent other than USC, California, or Notre Dame.
