I'm rooting for ND to lose so they don't soak up one of those coveted BCS slots. They look like top-10 pretenders whenever I see them play.
Losing one game won't be enough to knock them out of a BCS bowl. Losing two probably won't be enough. Losing three might not be enough. If they're in the BCS top 14, they'll go to a BCS game. So realistically, they're probably going to a BCS game, regardless of how this game turns out. And if they lose, that hurts Stanford's strength of schedule.

True. On the other hand, an undefeated ND means Oregon could be left out of the BCS championship game. That would leave us out of an outside shot for the Rose Bowl as an at large team.
