Rankings

Stanford was ranked #17 in the preseason Coaches' Poll and #20 in the preseason AP Poll. After going undefeated after 14 games, the Cardinal climbed to #2 in both polls (behind only Duke) by the ninth week of the season, where they remained until the thirteenth week of the season when they reached #1 in both polls. The Cardinal remained there until dropping to #2 in the sixteenth week (behind undefeated St. Joseph's) after their undefeated streak of 26 games ended when they were upset by Washington. The Cardinal returned to the #1 ranking the following week (the final poll of the season) after St. Joseph's lost 87–67 to Xavier in the quarterfinals of the Atlantic 10 tournament.
