Projected seed: 5

Baylor’s placement reflects a resume with high-end moments and clear blemishes: eye-catching neutral victories over Creighton and San Diego State and a solid home win against Washington show the offense can deliver in big spots, while a neutral loss to St John’s exposed the defense and kept the profile from vaulting upward. The team has not yet produced a marquee road triumph, and the Big Twelve slate includes brutal tests away at Kansas and Houston along with dates against Iowa State and a neutral matchup with Louisville that will determine whether the resume ages into something stronger or chips away at its current standing.
