Projection: likely out

Stanford’s resume is built around a handful of big moments — neutral-site wins over Minnesota and St. Louis and a marquee home victory over Louisville, plus a road win at Virginia Tech and a strong home showing against North Carolina — that prove the team can beat quality opponents in different environments. Those highs are offset by damaging setbacks, most notably a blowout at Duke, a stilted home loss to Notre Dame and a string of conference road defeats at Virginia, Miami, Florida State and Wake Forest that expose serious inconsistency away from campus. Nonconference blemishes against Seattle and UNLV compound the damage and offensive lapses in key games raise questions about whether this team can close out tough tests. With remaining chances at California, a home date with Pittsburgh and matchups against SMU, Notre Dame on the road and a difficult trip to NC State, Stanford still has paths to improve its case but must deliver in those specific spots to turn a resume of notable highs and harmful lows into one that looks tournament-ready.
