I think that beating UCLA two times in two weeks will be very, very difficult (thanks Larry Scott)...
But the hypothetical I'm most interested in thinking about is how the selection committee in place in 2014 would view this season.
Do you select a one-loss Oregon or two-loss Stanford team for the Final Football Four?
Honestly, I would guess that Stanford would be the right call because of SOS but mainly the emergence of a Hogan. However, without those two things, I would give Oregon the nod based on the Ducks stomping Washington and Arizona (common opponents).
It will be interesting if the selection committee considers things like a new starting QB in evaluating teams.
