With this weekend's two wins, so far, over FSU, Stanford's RPI has climbed 19 spots... to 113, just behind 19-23 Charlotte.
As a reference, Stanford did not make the NCAA tournament in 2025 with an RPI of 52. But note that last year Stanford had an 11-19 ACC record (13th out of 16 teams), 27-25 overall.
Right now, Stanford is 9-11 in the ACC (T9th), 20-19 overall. The current 4-game win streak is great, but I think that it would take something like a 10-3 finish in the final 13 games of the regular season to even be in the at-large conversation.

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
