Projected seed: 5
Stanford has started the season strong with an unbeaten record and convincing wins over teams like Denver and CS Fullerton, which provides a solid foundation for their tournament resume. However, their offense hasn't yet faced top-tier competition, reflected in their lower rankings, and they'll need strong showings against higher-ranked opponents like California, Oregon, and Clemson to bolster their case. The opportunity to pick up quality wins while maintaining this momentum is crucial, but dropping games against stronger teams or in critical matchups like against North Carolina or Duke could significantly affect their standing, making upcoming contests vital in shaping their tournament fate.
