Projected seed: 1

Gonzaga's resume is anchored by a parade of marquee neutral-court victories over Alabama, Kentucky, UCLA and Oregon and is bolstered by road wins at Arizona State and San Diego that show the program can win outside its own gym, while dominant results against lower-tier opponents provide abundant margin and confidence. The most damaging moment came in the neutral loss to Michigan, a result that the committee will not overlook and that makes the remaining league stretch, especially the trip to St Mary's, the defining chance to reaffirm this team's standing. If Gonzaga continues to finish routine league games at Santa Clara, San Francisco, Pepperdine and Portland and answers the St Mary's test on the road, the neutral-site résumé and proven ability to win away should hold up under scrutiny despite the Michigan blemish.
