Stanford women have their side locked up.
The men's side looks like a battle except that the lacrosse championship will boost someone up the ranks. N. Dakota St., that perennial athletic powerhouse, got their points by winning the FCS football title and getting 9th place in indoor track and field. Virginia won basketball and has a 10th place in swimming. Clemson won the FBS football title; Maryland won soccer. Stanford only won gymnastics, got second in water polo, tied for 4th place in indoor track and field, 5th places in cross country and soccer, and 9th place in soccer (This one might not count since the Capital One Cup only recognized the top 10 and 9th place is really 9-16). Obviously Stanford is not as good as the 4 schools ahead of them.
I'm pulling for Yale in lacrosse. If they win, they go from their current 2 points to 62. It won't necessarily put them in first, depending on how the other 3 teams in the semis do, but it will put one more team ahead of Stanford to show how ludicrous this scoring system really is.
