Projected seed: 4 (automatic qualifier)

Gonzaga’s résumé supports that placement with signature neutral-site wins over Alabama, Kentucky and UCLA and a neutral victory over Oregon that show the program can beat quality opponents on a national stage. Road victories at Arizona State, Oregon State and Washington State prove the team can win away from home, and dominant nonconference results have kept its profile strong. The most damaging outcomes are the lopsided neutral loss to Michigan and the upset at Portland, which expose occasional inconsistency and are blemishes a committee will notice. With manageable road dates at San Francisco and home finishes against Pacific and Portland offering little downside, the remaining trip to St Mary’s is the key chance to improve or slip. Taken together, the mix of marquee neutral wins, road success and only limited damaging setbacks makes that placement sensible.
