Hmmmm, Colorado is not going to make the tournament as a 14 seed. They are getting that invite on the board right now because they are on top of the conference standings. That will change over time.
At the moment, Stanford and Cal need to play well to get at-large invites. Arizona appears to have the talent to be team #3. All others would probably need to win the conference tournament. I think the Pac-12 sends 3, and none of the three get anything higher than 7 seeds.
Stanford has 3 regular season games against the other "powers" (UofA and Cal). Stanford must win one of those three. If Stanford drops all three it will be NIT.
