Stanford scores 18 runs today in the third game to sweep Boise State.  Stanford has the hitters to play at world series level.  

Here's the problem.  In the last two games unrated Boise State had 20 hits against Stanford.  The Cardinal doesn't have the pitching staff to be competitive on a consistent basis against top teams (Yes, they did beat Texas early in the season).

The wins against Boise State are enjoyable.  It tends to obscure the fact Stanford has lost the last five of six conference games.
