Yes, indeed, Bob....their 3-3 result vs. Top 25 teams provides great hope that Stanford will win the PAC 12 conference crown.
I'm just wondering about the playing status of RS freshman 6'5 MB Leilah SMITH (who was the #5 overall recruit and #1 MB recruit from the Class of 2020). She has yet to play a single match for Stanford but I see her in uniform in the Stanford sideline over the past few matches.

I think it's still possible for Stanford to get a #1 seed, but they need a lot of help from other Top 25 teams who they beat in OOC play:
(1) Stanford dominates PAC 12 play (which currently has 6 teams in the Top 25 in #7 UW, #10 Utah, #13 Oregon, #16 Stanford, #19 UCLA, #25 Colorado)
(2) Nebraska and Penn State, who both lost to Stanford in OOC play, are able to iron out their glitches and end up in the Top 3 of Big 12 conference play (which currently also has 6 teams in the Top 25 in #2 Wisconsin, #3 Ohio State, #6 Nebraska, #9 Purdue, #11 Minnesota, #20 Penn State)
(3) Florida, who also lost to Stanford in OOC play, is able to overcome their shortcomings and beats Kentucky in SEC conference play.
