Stanford fans know to circle specific dates on their calendars. These are the games that decide if a season was a success or a failure. For years, Oregon has been a worthy adversary in the North Division race. Now, even though the Ducks have been supplanted by Washington as the team to beat in order to play for the conference championship, they still remain a meaningful game. USC and UCLA have always been consistent threats outside the division, and a newly resurgent Trojan team makes the fateful Week 2 meeting in Los Angeles that much more important. The Notre Dame game always carries great consequence and national prestige.
