Oklahoma\'s performance should not matter, but if anything Oklahoma doing well will be good for Stanford.  Oklahoma is one of the schools that is wedged in between Wisconsin and Stanford in many of the computer rankings.  So, if Oklahoma gets blasted then Wisconsin could close the computer gap a bit.

If Oregon or Auburn lose it would all be good for Stanford.

Auburn loss - Stanford in the Rose Bowl, if TCU claims its rightful place.
Oregon loss- Stanford to the Fiesta Bowl, likely where it will be anyway.  Though Stanford would earn the co-conference title.
Auburn and Oregon losses - Oh, that would be amazing.  TCU vs Wisconsin/Stanford/Auburn/Oregon.  Any of the four could be TCU\'s partner.  It would be drama. Doubt that will happen.  It is looking like Fiesta or Rose.

So either way it would be a rematch of meaning to Stanford fans.

Stanford vs. Wisconsin in the 2011 Rose Bowl (2000 Rose Bowl) or
Stanford vs. Oklahoma in the 2011 Fiesta Bowl (2010 Sun Bowl)
