At Corvallis, Oregon:
Kenjon Barner ran for 198 yards and two touchdowns as the Oregon Ducks (#5 in the Bowl Championship Series standings and Associated Press poll, #4 in the USA Today/Coaches poll; 11-1 overall, 8-1 in Pac-12 play) broke open a close game and won the 116th edition of the Civil War Game running away from the home-standing Oregon State Beavers (#14 in the BCS, #16 in the AP poll, #17 in the Coaches rankings; 8-3, 6-3) 48-24 on Saturday.
With Stanford's road win over UCLA, the Ducks' chances of playing for the Pac-12 title evaporated. Still, Oregon still has a slim outside shot of playing for the BCS National Championship. It appears, though, that the Ducks will likely gain an at-large berth for a BCS bowl.
The victory was the Ducks' fifth straight over the Beavers.
De'Anthony Thomas ran for three Oregon touchdowns (2, 5, and 29 yards).

Ducks (Who Blow Chance To Move To Top Of BCS Rankings) Knocked Off At Home In OT By Stanford; May Have Seen BCS Title Game Hopes Go Up In Smoke; Door Open For Notre Dame And SEC Team
At Eugene, Oregon:
Jordan Williamson kicked a 37-yard field goal on overtime as the Stanford Cardinal (#13 in the most recent Bowl Championship Series rankings, #14 in the Associated Press media poll and #13 in the USA Today/Coaches' counterpart; 9-2 overall, 7-1 in Pac-10 play) knocked off the previously-unbeaten Oregon Ducks (#2 in BCS, #1 in both the AP and coaches' polls; 10-1, 7-1) 17-14 on the road Saturday night, severely damaging the Ducks' chances of playing in the BCS Championship game. With a win at UCLA (who knocked off USC to win the Pac-12's South Division title) next week, the Cardinal can lock up the North Division crown and host the conference title game with a trip to the Rose Bowl on the line.
Notre Dame (11-0), currently ranked third in the BCS standings, now have a chance to climb to the top of those rankings after their earlier Saturday beat-down of Wake Forest at home.
With top-ranked (BCS) Kansas State knocked off at Baylor, the Ducks had a shot to move to the top of those BCS standings, only to see those plans gone awry.
