Stanford is absolutely a bubble team. Somehow KenPom has them #34, but Sagarin has them at #59, one spot above UCLA.
To me, it's really simple. Must sweep Utah and Colorado at home and split in Oregon. That would give them a 6-1 record in last 7 games, something closer to how the team started the season.
Then they probably also must win one Pac-12 Tournament game. That would give them a 5-2 record in their last 7 games, a 9-9 conference record and 21-12 overall, good enough for NCAA resume. I personally don't think they will do this and will not make the NCAA field.
