For perspective, 2022 Stanford started 1-5 in Pac-12 play, losing two-of-three at Sunken diamond and then getting swept on the road. The Cardinal then went 20-4 over the final 24 to win the Pac-12 Regular Season Championship. Stanford swept through the Pac-12 Tournament and went 6-2 in the Stanford Regional and Super Regional en route to Omaha.
The Arizona Wildcats started 2016 3-6 in Pac-12 play and lost the National Championship Game to Coastal Carolina 4-3.
Elsewhere in the country, Ole Miss won the National Championship last year and started this year 0-6 in conference play. Ole Miss will have to sweep A&M in College Station to catch up to Oregon State.
The 2021 National Champion, Mississippi State is 0-6 in conference play. They would have to sweep 24-2 South Carolina in Starkville to catch up to Oregon State.
2012 National Champion and 2016 runner-up Arizona is tied with Oregon State and Wazzu in seventh at 3-6 in the Pac-12. The Tucson media is freaking out about that. The Wildcats dropped a series at home against West Virginia but started the season 12-3. However, Arizona got swept at Jackie Robinson and got swept at Phoenix Muni. The Wildcats needed a ninth-inning comeback to tie up Grand Canyon and needed a walk-off hit to win the game. Also, I didn't hear anything about it before, but Anthony Susac signed with Arizona, I guess. We need to get back in the Susacs' good graces.
