Projection: likely out

Stanford’s profile reads like a team with flashes of quality but too many damaging moments to feel safe: neutral-site wins over Minnesota, St Louis and Colorado and gritty road victories at Notre Dame, NC State and Virginia Tech show it can beat good teams, and a home win over Louisville plus an offense-first performance against North Carolina are its best evidence, but those are offset by a blowout at Duke, a heavy loss at Virginia, a low-scoring home setback to Notre Dame and a string of narrow defeats at UNLV and in a neutral game against Pittsburgh that make the resume feel inconsistent. The committee will note the lack of a truly marquee signature win and uneven performance away from home and on neutral courts, so unless Stanford seizes the remaining chances to topple top ACC opponents on the road or puts together a strong run in the conference tournament to wash away the neutral-site blemish, those bad results will keep it on the outside looking in.
