Projected seed: 3

BYU’s profile is anchored by eye-catching neutral-site wins over Villanova and Wisconsin and by dominant nonconference offensive showings that prove the team can score in bunches, and a true road victory at Kansas State shows it can close out hostile environments. Those highs are offset by a tight neutral loss to Connecticut and a road setback at Texas Tech that leave lingering questions about consistency against top-tier opponents away from Provo. With a gauntlet still to come that includes a home date with Arizona, road trips to Kansas and Baylor and a marquee home test against Houston, the roster has clear opportunities to upgrade its standing while a slate of more approachable opponents at home and on the road offers chances to lock in the résumé. Selection committees will reward the neutral-site and true-road successes and the offensive firepower, but the damage from the costly losses is the reason BYU sits where it does and why the remaining marquee matchups are so consequential.
