Projection: likely out
Davidson looks like a bubble team on the outside because its résumé is a patchwork of a few solid road and neutral wins and several damaging defeats that a selection committee will remember, not erase. The Wildcats can point to victories away from home at Loyola‑Chicago and Richmond and a neutral win over Boston College plus a quality nonconference victory over Washington State, which show they can win outside of their building, but those bright spots are undermined by lopsided losses at Kansas and at a neutral site against Utah State and by a poor home showing against Rhode Island that expose offensive inconsistency. Close losses to the likes of Temple and Duquesne and a road setback at George Mason further erode the profile, and the remaining schedule offers limited upside; a tough trip to Dayton and a home date with Saint Louis are real chances to add a resume‑changing result but many of the other games are grind‑it‑out opportunities that will not overcome the earlier bad losses. In short, the committee will weigh those blowouts and middling nonconference resume against the decent road résumé and likely leave Davidson on the outside unless a marquee win materializes in the weeks ahead.
