I think it is likely that women's tennis turns it on for NCAAs. They only have 3 losses (all to top 10 teams while our #2, Melissa Lord, was out injured), they're currently ranked 22nd, and if they can win out and get a Top 16 seed, they will be a classic underseeded Stanford team that no one wants to play, now that Lord is back healthy.

The first two rounds of the 64-team tournament are at campus sites (so a Top 16 seed means you get to stay at home), and then the final 16 teams all go to one location (this year, at Wake Forest) for the remainder of the tournament. If Stanford makes it to Winston-Salem, that's at least 64 points.

Told y'all.

It is a solid total.   Looks promising for football to get tossed from the tally.   And yet, a miracle run by UCLA could still exceed Stanford's total.  It would need to be an epic run coupled with very little from baseball for Stanford, but it is possible.

However, football is a required sport, no?  Thus it cannot be replaced even if we score higher in another sport (same with baseball, should it score less than 55, it should still be counted).

More important than Stanford's finish in golf was UCLA's finish in golf.   As they didn't win it becomes very unlikely they will get enough points to catch Stanford.   Still theoretically possible, I suspect, but would require very strong finishes in M&W T&F and NCAA team titles in both softball and baseball.   That's not really going to happen.   Upsets happen in a lot of sports, but UCLA simply doesn't have the athletes to score big points in T&F.

I don't think any other school even has a theoretical chance as the other spring sport champions have generally not been schools routinely in the NACDA top 10 year to year.

The 4th place finishers are given a T-49 designation and given 25 points.  
The 3rd place finishers are given a T-33 designation, but also given 25 points.
The 2nd place finishers are given a T-17 designation, and given 50 points.

But at this point the Stanford has a lead and is essentially trading baskets with UCLA.   Stanford will collect 50 points for baseball.   UCLA will collect 50 points too.   However, UCLA really needed a massive gain in baseball to have a chance to catch Stanford.   Posting the same point tally in baseball is not good enough.   

I suspect enough of the results are final to declare Stanford as the winner for the year as I don't believe any other program could get to 1400 even if they win every title that is still available to win.   That likely will become clear on Thursday when the next batch of results is posted.

Perhaps you are wondering, "yes, but what about the Capital One Cup?"

Stanford leads in both men's and women's standings through May 16 - http://www.capitalonecup.com/docs/comple...ndings.pdf

This does include women's water polo. But does not include men's and women's tennis, men's and women's golf, beach volleyball, rowing or men's and women's T&F, all of which are Group A sports which means the winner gets 20 points. 

The current standings also do not include men's and women's lacrosse, baseball or softball which are Group B sports and worth 3x Group A sports. The winner gets 60 points, etc.

I think the Stanford women have an insurmountable lead. It's hard to estimate the current standings as BigEasyCard has done for the Director's Cup, because Capital One points are awarded often based on final polls, not championship results. Stanford will earn points in tennis, golf and rowing. UCLA will earn points in beach volleyball and softball. UCLA probably closes the gap some, but not completely.

The men's lead is more precarious because they have earned no points in tennis and golf. They may get 0 points for baseball. They could be passed by several schools depending on the baseball results. For example, Duke earned 36 points for being the lacrosse runner up and is still alive in baseball.

The Stanford women have won the Capital One Cup 4 times in its 7 years of existence, including last year.

The Stanford men won once, two years ago. The Ohio State men won last year.
