If SFU beats Sonoma, I think it will be a safe bet that SFU will get an at large bid if they can avoid an upset vs a lower ranked team. (Washington comes to mind as the most likely candidate) Because a potential loss to Oregon would not hurt them in the polls at all. (or at least it shouldn't)
It's pretty impressive what SFU has done this year with a team that is mainly Freshman and Sophomore's with a few juniors. Especially when you consider they lost two of their top scores from last year in Christians (grad) and Crowley.( no idea, he was only a Freshman i think)
he transferred to NCAA D1
