Still early but maybe not too early to start paying attention.

Missouri is the one SEC team slumping, losing three straight games -- all to good teams in Georgia, Mississippi State and South Carolina -- but the Tigers have a stretch of winnable games to get back on track. The Tigers just hung on to the 16th overall spot this week and have some teams threatening to overtake them, most notably Stanford.

The idea that the Cardinal could end up a host after leaving nonconference play at 6-6 seemed impossible, but now healthy with the roles of younger players more clearly defined, Stanford has elevated more in recent weeks than any other team in the country. On Jan. 1, the Cardinal were a No. 8 seed. This week they are a No. 5.

Winner of seven of its last eight after a huge sweep at the Oregon schools this weekend, Stanford has moved to the No. 17 overall position on the board. The Cardinal are now tied for the Pac-12 lead at 10-2 and are favored in all of their remaining regular-season games.

The Missouri-Texas A&M game to finish the SEC schedule could be a de facto play-in game for the top 16, thanks to the Stanford charge.
