[scorecard]

My brain says this was probably not good for us...but my heart is smiling.

Mine is smiling as well, but my brain says it is definitely good for us.  Presumably we won't get the boost of a marquee victory over an undefeated Oregon, but particularly if Oregon loses to UCLA (and their games against Washington, OSU, and Utah no longer look like gimmes), it opens the door big time in the North for us.  And if that gets us into the Pac-12 title game, that's all that matters because the Pac-12 champ gets into the playoff.
