ESPN's bracketology guy (Lunardi) has Stanford as the second team out as of this moment. That would seem to imply that if Stanford's remaining accomplishments are greater than a few of the teams directly above them then they have a decent chance of getting in. So, the teams directly above Stanford, in order are: Minnesota, Colorado St, Xavier, UConn, Indiana, Seton Hall, Boise State, VCU, Louisville.
Those are presumably the ones to keep an eye on in comparison to whatever Stanford manages to do the rest of the way.
also, as ever, there will be some conferences where a tournament upset will mean that a team that otherwise would have been left out wins the tournament and claims an AQ bid.
