Note, we controlled our destiny even before Oregon beat Washington.

Here is the interesting thing... WSU and Stanford are the only teams in the North who control their own destiny.  Oregon would need to win out and have us lose at least one more game, while Washington would need to win out and hope Oregon loses at least one more game.

There will be a lot more clarity in the next three weeks weeks.
WSU plays Oregon (at home) and at Stanford
Stanford plays WSU and then at UW (after ASU)
UW will host Stanford

And if things are still unsettled after that, WSU hosts UW in the last week of the season

Yep.  Boiling it down one more time - although there are still too many scenarios to say for sure:
1) We need to beat whichever team ends up winning the Apple Cup.  (beating both would count, too!)
2) If we lose a game (likely), we need Oregon to lose a game.

With this in mind, do we like Oregon or WSU this weekend?  If we lose at ASU, then we clearly prefer WSU over Oregon.  But if/when we win at ASU, it becomes hard to say...

We definitely want Oregon to lose on the road at Wazzu. We get Wazzu at home. And we almost undoubtedly want a UW loss at Wazzu in the Apple Cup too.
