Oh, yeah, I sometimes forget how horrible the PAC-10's TV deals are. You're right about the overall feel of the Stanford game ... was probably just a trap game for them.

About Oregon's effort: They are definitely prepared for this game. I'm not worried about them looking past Arizona. Last year's loss at Autzen was awful and I guarantee every single player remembers it. I was listening to Bellotti on the air this week and it seemed he had really imparted his players with a sense of what this game meant.

As to the line movement: I don't think the books have any idea how to handicap Oregon's games this season. The fact that the team is 8-1 ATS this year is evidence of that (yes, they've wildly outperformed expectations but shouldn't the lines have started reflecting this by the time of the Washington State game, at least?) So I'm not worried about the line shift at all.
