In the possible event (I'll say unlikely) that Stanford does beat Oregon and win out, they would likely end up as a top 4 squad in the BCS. I'm presuming losses by Baylor and Miami, and obviously Oregon in that scenario. I have my doubts we'd get to #2, as that would probably require two Bama losses in addition to FSU or Ohio State, who both have pretty cake schedules.
My point here, is that Stanford would then have ended up in the top 4, 3 out of the last 4 years of the BCS. If only our Golden Era had happened 4 years later....or college football had been less obtuse by 4 years....we'd have been playing for national titles.
Oh well hopefully we can keep it up!

That said, I would imagine most CFB fans are projecting that Stanford will lose to Oregon if they play a similar map out the rest of the season game.Â

He was, but its his soccer abilities that are most notable.
