The Ducks win over UW .... ESPN College GameDay comes to town AND Stanford does not get passed by Oklahoma or Bama/LSU loser.
The Ducks lose to UW .... No ESPN AND Stanford likely becomes vulnerable to getting passed by a one loss team.
FWIW - I doubt SC beats Oregon in Eugene. Oregon's scheme, team speed and game pace are all horrible for SC, splash in some rain and I just don't see SC winning. If Stanford cannot beat Oregon, then the big dream ends anyway. The two loss scenario is not terribly likely, and seems more likely that dinging Stanford's best win a notch or two could hurt the BCS standings later.
Getting a one loss Oregon team is better for the conference, the Stanford BCS aspirations & Stanford recruiting.
I do hope that Oregon UW game goes 3, 4 or even 5OTs. That would be great!
