FYI, this website seems to think that we'll be the 13 seed, getting just a bit ahead of UCLA (14), with Northwestern suffering a somewhat dramatic drop from losing to Michigan and settling in as the 15 seed, with Miami as the 16 seed. That would mean a date with Georgia Tech in the Round of 16, and a probable rematch with Texas in the quarterfinals. (If we get past Buffalo and then #17 Michigan, that is.) I would love that, though I'm not super excited about Michigan being in the pod, coming off a Big Ten tournament title.
I think head to head results are factored into the seeds, so there could be a mess if it's Pepperdine-UCLA-Stanford, as Stanford beat UCLA twice, but UCLA beat Pepperdine, and Stanford's Pepperdine match was rained out.

If the final rankings fall in this order, Pepperdine-Northwestern-UCLA-Stanford-Miami (like the collegetennisranks projection has it), then I think Stanford's two head to head wins over UCLA would lead the committee to make Stanford the 14 seed, UCLA the 15, and Miami the 16. That would put Stanford on track to play 3rd-seeded Duke in the Round of 16, then Ole Miss or Texas Tech in the quarter, and then a Vandy rematch in the semi. Bring it on.
