Projected seed: 4 (automatic qualifier)

Gonzaga’s standing reflects a resume built on loud neutral-site victories over Alabama, Kentucky, UCLA and Oregon that prove the Bulldogs can beat quality opponents outside their home gym, and a string of road wins at places like Arizona State and San Diego that show they can travel. The case is tempered by a damaging neutral loss to Michigan and road setbacks at Portland and at St Mary’s that raise questions about consistency away from home, so the committee rightly balances the signature nonconference scalps against those blemishes. What keeps Gonzaga in strong position is the clear body of work showing it can win the big games on neutral floors while still having room to erase the bad results by avoiding further road miscues and adding another marquee victory before the selection conversation is finalized.
