The Week 12 BCS Rankings have been released. As expected, Saturday's Stanford vs. Oregon game ended up having huge ramifications on the BCS standings. In a near-reversal of last week's BCS poll, Oregon now finds itself sitting at No. 4 overall, and the Stanford Cardinal have slid all the way down to No. 9. The Ducks managed this feat by handing Stanford their first loss of the season and taking control of first place in the Pac-12 North.
Next on the slate for the Ducks are none other than the USC Trojans. USC plays Oregon in Eugene next Saturday night at 5 p.m. PST in a nationally televised game on ABC. Oregon is hoping to lock up a spot in the Rose Bowl and perhaps keep their hopes alive for an appearance in the National Championship Game. The Trojans, meanwhile, will be looking to rain on Oregon's parade and hand the Ducks a Pac-12 loss on their home turf.
