Unfortunately for Ducks' fans, this hurts them as they'll get fewer "computer points" when they beat Stanford since The Cardinal will be ranked lower now. Just another excuse to slip Ohio St. into the B(C)S championship game vs. Alabama instead of some shitty Northwest team like UO. It's all about TV ratings folks and Ohio St. generates more than Oregon.
BTW, despite being a Wazzu and Husky fan I sincerely hope I'm wrong and the Ducks are in the "championship game" (in quotes cuz it ain't no real championship, it's mythical without a playoff and has been since the implementation of this bullshit, SEC-centric system) because I would LOVE to see a NW team win a mythical championship.
Man am I looking forward to the playoffs next year. No more Notre Dame crap like last year when they would've been soundly drilled in the semis.
