Cal beats Stanford 2-3.   Stanford goes 0-4 this weekend.  I can feel the NCAA tournament slipping away.  Even if Stanford wins out it's a long shot for Stanford to make the tournament.   On a more positive note, Stanford has taken one big leap forward this year since the inception of beach volleyball on the farm.

Well, winning out would mean beating Cal twice, GCU and (most importantly) #5 LMU.  If we did that, it would depend on how the other bubble teams did.
Of course, if Stanford were to pull off an upset of UCLA or USC in the Pac-12 tournament, that would help.
But my guess is the odds of Stanford making the tournament at this point are about 1 in 5.

Certainly agree that this has been a big leap forward.  Just to have a top-10 ranking and be in the tournament conversation bodes well for the future.  And should help with recruiting.
