The last two games were against teams that just weren't very good, and both of those games were essentially a coin flip.  If Washington St., Cal, and BYU are likewise coin flips, Stanford would have a 12.5% chance of winning all three.  Even if Stanford had a 75% chance of winning all three (they don't by the way), that still gives them a ~42% chance of winning all three.  So, I'd say the team needs to start (keep?) playing better, or get lucky, or both.  Beating UCLA would increase their chances in a very big way.  So, let's start with that. :)
