Since the data-based rankings don't have enough data to be meaningful, I took a look at ESPN's bracketology, which came out today.
Stanford faces Oklahoma, projected as a 9-seed in the NCAA tournament, on Monday and will face either Butler (projected 9-seed) or Missouri (first four out) on Tuesday. Not exactly murderer's row, but still a step up in competition and away from Maples. The HOF Classic will be played in Kansas City, home to many Mizzou grads and only a couple of hours drive from Columbia, MO.
FWIW, Stanford has not made the projected bracket, but five Pac-12 teams are in as of today:
Oregon 3
UA 4
UW 6
Colorado 7
USC 11

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)
