Projection: likely out

Georgetown sits outside the field because its resume mixes a few impressive road victories at Villanova, Marquette and Maryland with a string of damaging results that the committee will notice, including road losses to DePaul and rough showings at North Carolina and Dayton. The Hoyas have shown they can beat quality conference opponents both away and at home with wins over Creighton and a tough road victory at Providence, but those high points are offset by home defeats and close losses to Seton Hall and Butler that read poorly next to the signature wins. Road and neutral success matter most to the committee and Georgetown’s inability to avoid bad losses away from home leaves its profile undercut despite the marquee wins. With the season moving into its final stretch and only limited opportunities left to beat top conference rivals on neutral courts or on the road, the margin for error is thin and that is why the current projection is sensible.
