Based on current rankings, Stanford and UNC--the 2nd place team--would score additional points as follows:Thanks for the detailed breakdown. However, if you believe the SID, we have the hottest baseball team in the nation, and closer Colton Hock, so I'm cautiously optimistic about scoring in baseball.
Volleyball
Stanford: 2 pts (9th)
UNC: 0 pts (unranked)
Tennis
Stanford: 0 pts (16th)
UNC: 2 pts (9th)
Golf
Stanford: 8 pts (4th)
UNC: 0 pts (unranked)
Outdoor T&F
Stanford: 0 pts (unranked)
UNC: 0 pts (unranked)
Lacrosse
Stanford: 0 pts (no team)
UNC: 6 pts (9th)
Baseball
Stanford: 0 pts (14th)
UNC: 30 pts (3rd)
Basically, we need UNC to tank in lacrosse and baseball, at least tank enough to finish lower than 10th and Stanford to make the College World Series. Clemson is also a threat, as they are currently ranked 8th in baseball, so we need them to not make the CWS.
