I find it interesting that Oregon's games with U.SC the past few years have all been late October/November and in 2011, when it was clear that the Pac12 would come down  to Stanford and Oregon, that game was scheduled for November. Oregon has also had very favorable Road/Home mix of games the past three years, not having a single period of 3 straight road games. Meanwhile, Stanford was expected to be down this year and our schedule kind of sucked with so many home games, including U.SC, before school started.

But I guess it's enough that it could all be a coincidence. I will be interested to see how favorable our schedule appears, on paper, when it is announced, given that we're suddenly back in the mix in the pundits eyes.
