Projected seed: 7 (last four in)

Colgate’s profile is shaped by a nonconference slate that includes tough road tests against major-conference programs that turned into heavy defeats and a string of respectable wins over mid and lower-tier opponents, which leaves the staff with a resume heavy on volume but light on signature triumphs. The best moments are clear: quality road victories and a pair of neutral-site wins that show the team can close out tight games away from its arena and handle comparable league foes, and a high-scoring home win that demonstrated what this offense can do when it clicks. The worst moments are also obvious and damaging: lopsided losses on big stages and a couple of curious home and road setbacks that undermine the resume and raise questions about consistency. Committees will weigh those damaging defeats against the road and neutral success already compiled, and they will watch the remaining conference slate as the real opportunity to erase doubt by piling up clean wins and avoiding a bad loss; a strong finish and a deep run in the league tournament would turn a resume of solid but unspectacular wins into one that demands serious consideration.
