Projected seed: 12 (automatic qualifier)

Grand Canyon's resume is anchored by a neutral-court victory over Utah and respectable showings against quality opponents such as Oklahoma State at a neutral site, yet it is marred by ugly road setbacks at St. Louis and a stifling offensive outing in the neutral loss to Iowa. The program's defensive identity has kept it competitive against midmajor foes like Northern Illinois and Stetson, while offensive inconsistency has turned a few winnable games into damaging losses. The remaining slate presents clear opportunities to bulk up the profile at home against San Jose State, Air Force and Fresno State and a chance to prove true road toughness on trips to Boise State and San Diego State, with additional chances against New Mexico and UNLV that would meaningfully shift the committee's view. If Grand Canyon collects the expected wins and steals a signature road or neutral victory it will validate its current standing and if it drops the winnable conference games the negative results will outweigh the season's better moments.
