Stanford's RPI moves up one place to #95 after last night's come-from-behind-more-than-once win over #182 UC Davis.
Remaining regular season schedule:
@ #77 Notre Dame x 3
vs #244 San Francisco
vs #53 NC State x 3
vs #109 Saint Mary's
@ #61 Cal x 3
If Stanford somehow wins 2 out of 3 in the remaining series and both midweek games, the Card would finish 16-14 in the ACC, 30-22 overall.
At 16-14, Stanford would likely be seeded 5 through 8 in the ACC tournament, which, if it happened, would earn them a first-round bye. Last year, the 8 seed was 16-14 in regular season conference play.
And while I'm dreaming, the top 4 seeds earn first- and second-round byes. Stanford is currently two games out of fourth place, but last year's #4 seed was 17-11 (two rainouts). There are seven teams with current conference records that range from 12-9 (Miami, FSU) to 12-12 (UVa) to 10-11 (Pitt, NC State, Louisville, Stanford). At least one of those seven will have a great end to the regular season. Why not us?

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
