Stanford is tied with SMU and VTech for 10th in the ACC at 8-9, a game behind FSU and Cal. The best we can finish is 9-9 and in a three-way tie for 8th. But even so we would be the 10th seed playing the 15th seed, because we lost the head-to-head to both FSU and Cal, which is too bad since the top 9 seeds get a first-round bye. The worst seed possible for Stanford would be the 12th seed, playing the 13th seed.
So Stanford is playing no matter what on Tuesday at 2, 4:30 or 7 pm Eastern time. Does that sound right?

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
