Projected seed: 1 (automatic qualifier)

Arizona’s profile reads like that of a top seed because it pairs marquee neutral-site wins over Florida, UCLA, Alabama and San Diego State with true road victories at Connecticut, Houston and Baylor and dominant home performances highlighted by a statement win over Kansas. The best moments are those road and neutral wins that prove the Wildcats can beat power conference foes away from home, while the worst moments—a tight loss at Kansas and a close setback to Texas Tech—are blemishes limited by opponent quality and margin. Those narrow defeats do not erase a season full of high-end victories and they leave clear opportunities to further cement seeding as the conference slate finishes and tournament play arrives.
