Does beach volleyball count? If so it looks like they are on a collision course with Stanford.

It definitely does.

And they just brought home the Conference Championship by beating UCLA again.

It does, the NCAA tournament. Not the MPSF conference tournament they just won though. 
 

They should get a really good seed for the ncaa tournament, top 3, and have a great chance for a top 4 or better finish.

Texas got the 2 seed, would meet 3 seed ucla in the semis. I think this is best for Texas as they are 3-2 on the year and have won the last 3 against ucla. 
 

Stanford gets the 1 seed, Texas is 0-3 vs Stanford this year.

I am in New Orleans, not far from Gulf Shores. Not in the cards this year but maybe I'll plan to take a beach trip with my family during this week in future years!

UCLA, Florida have chances to add significant points in Tennis this weekend if they can advance. Stanford could too but the gain would be limited as they have sports already expected to score around 60 points. 

Texas needs to see both Tennis teams advance, either not advancing would lead to a significant score drop.

1 seed Stanford, 2 seed Texas, 3 seed UCLA in beach volleyball this weekend as well. Any change better or worse this weekend would adjust predicted score as well.
