3. Stanford
How good have the Cardinal been in recent history? Well, Tiger Woods went to Stanford and the team got ... worse. Really. The Cardinal won the NCAAs in the spring of 1994, but then Woods arrived that fall and the team finished second in the '95 NCAAs and fourth the following year. (Tiger did win an individual NCAA crown, in '96, and then quit school.) Stanford has a long history of success, having won six NCAA titles between 1938 and '53. Also, Tom Watson played at Stanford, graduating in 1971.

The Cardinal got back into the NCAA winner's circle last June with a wire-to-wire 12-shot victory. The defending national champions are currently ranked ninth in the nation, and they're led by senior Rob Grube, who finished third at the '07 NCAAs, and Sihwan Kim, a freshman who has a team-best 71.6 scoring average.
