The Stanford vs. Oregon College Football spread was listed at Oregon -6 ½ at BetUS.com, the lowest line we could find on this game (since most online sportsbooks have Stanford at +7). Stanford is ranked number 9. Oregon is ranked number 4. The Cardinal are such a surprise the many online bookmakers feature them as part of the “field” category to win the 2011 BSC Championship since they are not individual recognized among the posted odds. Just shy of 70 percent of the public betting backing was on Stanford.

ESPN.com has this to say about Stanford vs. Oregon:
Pole position in the Pac-10 title race will be on the line. The Cardinal won at Notre Dame last week, improving to 4-0 for the first time since 1986 and receiving their highest ranking in the AP Top 25 since ending the 1992 season at No. 9. They'll face the No. 1 scoring offense in the country, though it was the Ducks' defense that carried the day last week in a 42-31 win at Arizona State, forcing seven turnovers.
The Scout’s Edge offered this:
The Cardinal's aggressive mentality on defense should keep the Ducks in check up front, but Stanford's lack of athleticism at the second level will eventually be exposed. Oregon's speed and quickness will be too much and Stanford will be forced out of its ball-control game plan. Luck will answer the bell but his lack of playmakers will be too much to overcome and the Cardinal will not be able to keep up in what should be a high-scoring affair.
They predict a 10 point victory by 6 ½ point favored Oregon.
Last year, Stanford beat Oregon. But in past years, the Ducks had won 7 straight.
Some quick trends before considering this 6 ½ point spread:
The Cardinal are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a S.U. win.
The Ducks are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 home games.
The Ducks are 1-5 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.
The Ducks are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a favorite of 3.5-10.0.
