Can Oregon shed the "soft" label with a win Saturday?

Oregon would have a victory over Michigan State and Stanford - two teams considered "physical" outside the SEC. If not, would it take a win in the playoffs against the SEC West winner?
I believe the perception won't be shed until we beat a quality SEC team even as unfair as that seems.

Stanford sucks..
And the only way to shed that label would be to recruit bigger, stronger guys. It's no secret that stout defenses can really hurt Oregon's gameplan by blowing up the LOS. Get better there and Oregon will be better suited to play 60 minutes against a stout defense.

Not even beating the SEC West champ should it be a spread team. It would need to be Bama or LSU, teams with a bruiser reputation.

Beat an SEC West team.
That means a lot.

Tell your qb to steal something
That should bring in some street cred

So we tell you exactly what you expect to hear, but then you dispute it?

This is the only year where I thought Oregon was actually soft.
Their title game against Auburn, proved they weren't soft.
But Mariota is really carrying this team with a soft D.
If they win out - they deserve a place in the top 4...but this isn't one of the better Oregon teams.
SEC deserves at least two teams in the playoff.

Stanford sucks dick.
It's a shame how quickly Shaw killed that program.

Yes - beating a 3 loss team gives them all the credibility they need.

No. When you give up 40+ to Cal, it becomes difficult to shed that label.

Upon arriving at Vanderbilt, Derrick Mason said that he said he was surprised to find that he thought Vanderbilt had as much defensive talent as the team he left at Stanford.
While obviously an exaggeration, I think Mason was somewhat surprised that the defensive talent level at the bottom of the SEC compared favorably to that of upper tier PAC teams.
TLDR
Stanford ain't shite:

I disagree that they need to beat a SEC team to shed soft. I think the term "soft" when it comes to Oregon is from the lack of beating Stanford year in and year out. Stanford is by far the most physical team they face every year and always lose. If they can finally get it done this year anybody who considers them soft is mistaken. But it always comes down to the fact the one physical team they face every year they lose.
