Projected seed: 3

BYU’s body of work pairs a handful of signature neutral-site wins and a gritty road victory with a nonconference slate full of blowouts that won’t carry as much weight with the committee, and that mix explains where they sit. The neutral wins over Villanova and Wisconsin and the tight neutral loss to Connecticut show the team can handle big-stage environments, and the win at Kansas State proves it can win away from home against quality opponents. The resume is softened by a string of routs over low-major foes that provide little resume boost, so upcoming games at Arizona and Kansas and home tests against Houston and Iowa State loom as the moments that will define postseason perception. If BYU takes care of those marquee opportunities they’ll firm up their status; if they stumble on the tougher road trips their profile will look far less convincing.
