The Oregon Ducks were rewarded for their victorious efforts against USC Sunday evening, as the most recent BCS rankings has them ahead of Notre Dame at No. 3 overall.
Oregon was fortunate that their most difficult challenge of the season coincided with the Fighting Irish taking three overtimes to beat Pittsburgh, but they now only have Kansas State in their way for a berth in the BCS Championship Game.
Oregon State also won this weekend, but apparently the BCS computers didn't think ASU was much of a test because they remain at No. 11.
As for the rest of the Pac-12, UCLA made their BCS debut at No. 18, USC fell two spots to No. 19 and Stanford stood still at No. 14.
