Next up, Syracuse comes to Stanford on Wednesday for an 8:00 game on either ESPN2 or ESPNU.

Per various rankings:
Stanford #70, Syracuse #146 per Net
Stanford #73, Syracuse #116 per KenPom
Stanford #68, Syracuse #108 per Massey
Stanford #67, Syracuse #143 per Bart Torvik
Stanford #84, Syracuse #95 per ESPN BPI

So, a game Stanford will likely be favored in by more than the 4.5 spread for the FSU game.

ESPN BPI projects Stanford's record to end up at 19-11 (11-9 in the ACC), which means going 5-6 in the remaining games.  They also have us rated lower than the others above.  I'm optimistic about the possibility of squeezing out 6 (or maybe 7?) more wins, getting to 20 wins and staying in that 5,6,7 range for a somewhat favorable seed in the ACC tournament.

But, first things first - Beat the Orangemen! Or is it just Orange now??
