Why exactly do we care at this point what the ranking is? Sure, toward the end of the season it might make a difference in seeding, but, given what's happened this season to a number of teams, given that Stanford needs to keep improving as it plays through its conference season, and given that there are almost certainly going to be a few obviously good teams with better records than Stanford's at the end of the regular season, these early rankings are arguably kind of meaningless.
