Correct me if I'm wrong here, but Stanford's chances of winning the Pac-12 North aren't significantly diminished after last Saturday.

Yes, we were always going to have to beat Oregon in Autzen, which is a brobdingnagian challenge in itself. Now, however, we need to make sure we don't trip up again in any other Pac12 games. If we beat Oregon but then lose to UCLA, UW or any other foe, we then are at the mercy of Oregon losing another game. Running the table over 9 games is extremely hard to do. Running the table over 8 games is only slightly easier. And given our difficult road schedule, losing at home is a big punch in the gut.
