It occurred to me this morning that, regardless of the outcome of the Kal game, it will probably be beneficial to Stanford\'s Rose Bowl hopes (discounting the other BCS bowls) to lose to Oregon State.  Given the fact that Boise St. and TCU both beat OSU, their computer rankings would be enhanced by and Oregon State victory over a highly ranked team, improving the liklihood of a non-AQ in the national championship game, opening the Rose bowl slot.  You have to love a system that creates a situation where losing can be more beneficial than winning.
