At least USC and UCLA are on the other side of the bracket. I think Stanford got a favorable draw as a #3 seed. If the seeding plays out, Stanford should be the favorite until they meet TCU in the semis. 

I wonder when the NCAA will expand the tournament to more teams.

I believe there are about 68 Div. 1 schools with beach volleyball, so 16 is already a pretty large field. (Two more schools adding it next year.)

ETA: in 2023 & 2024, there were 9 AQs, so a total of 17 teams in the tournament.

I agree about the favorable seeding.
