At this point Stanford has no "good wins" in conference.  Losing to Oregon on the road is understandable.  Losing to UCLA at home hurts.  At this point getting a top 16 seed in the tournament seems unlikely although Stanford often is favored by the selection committee based on past reputation.

I don't see more than four PAC-12 teams -- possibly only three -- receiving top-16 seeds. UO and UCLA are in the driver's seat at 5-1, while we are bunched with UW, WSU, and Utah at 4-2. We play the other three 4-2 teams twice, so we will have a chance to make our case.
If we don't get a seed, we might be the unseeded team no seed wants to have in their pod, since we have the firepower to compete with any team, despite our passing and digging limitations.
