Start with our own George Schroeder, who put the Ducks at No. 3 on his Harris Poll ballot, back in the thick of the BCS discussion. Ken Woody offered his typically nuanced take on the action from the perspective of a former conference player and assistant coach. Jon Wilner thought the Ducks benefited from having played LSU this season, even if it was in a loss. Stewart Mandel wrote that Oregon left no question about which team is the conference's dominant power. Matt Hayes said Saturday's outcome said a lot about Oregon and also had big implications on the Heisman race. Dennis Dodd said the Ducks "waddled" themselves back into BCS consideration with their typically entertaining style. Monte Poole wrote that Oregon made Luck look mortal in sending the Stanford quarterback to defeat. John Canzano thought the Ducks made it clear that speed tops power when the two go head-to-head. Chris Dufrense was impressed with Oregon but said the Ducks need help to play for another national title. Mark Purdy said the Ducks didn't just outrun the Cardinal, they made better decisions, too. Tim Kawakami wrote the obituary for what had looked like Stanford's dream season. Ted Miller noted that Oregon now has a case for the BCS, not to mention a pretty decent defense. Gene Wojciechowski said the Ducks want another shot at LSU to avenge their opening loss. It's USC up next for Oregon, and Matt Barkley isn't as impressed with this year's Ducks as he was in the past. http://www2.registerguard.com/cms/i...e-pundits-thought-of-oregons-win-at-stanford/
