9 Stanford (4-0) vs. 4 Oregon (4-0), 8pm, ABCThis is sure to be a shootout between Pacific-1o rivals. Oregon's sophomore QB Darron Thomas has proved to be a more than capable replacement for Jeremy Masoli in the first four games of the Ducks' season. Thomas has thrown for 822 yards and 10 touchdowns - third highest in the conference.
Stanford, though, has junior QB Andrew Luck to lead them into Autzen Stadium. Luck has thrown 912 yards and 11 touchdowns - second highest in the conference.
Prediction: You honestly cannot go wrong in this one. You have two of the best QBs in the nation squaring off on the national stage. This is going to be a classic with certain Pac-10 title implications. That Autzen Stadium crowd, though, makes the difference for me. Talk about home field advantage. The Oregon crowd will shake Luck and be the deciding factor in this one.
