Projected seed: 12 (automatic qualifier)

Grand Canyon’s résumé is defined by an eye-catching neutral-site victory over Utah and a road win at Wyoming that show it can win outside its building, balanced against damaging nonconference setbacks such as a tough trip to St Louis and losses on neutral courts to Iowa and Oklahoma St plus a blemish against Colorado St. The home slate features a string of dominant wins over midmajor opponents that bolster the overall profile but those results carry less weight than neutral or road success against top competition. What matters now is the conference grind, which mixes winnable home dates against San Jose St, Air Force and UNLV with a slate of difficult road tests at Boise St, New Mexico, Utah St, San Diego St, Fresno St and Nevada. Those upcoming opportunities on the road and at home will determine whether the résumé is viewed as résumé-building or marred by too many bad losses.
