Projected seed: 1
Houston has built a strong resume highlighted by impressive victories against quality opponents. They showed resilience with hard-fought wins against teams like Baylor and Kansas, as well as a solid performance at BYU, which bolsters their credentials within a challenging Big 12. The defense stands out as elite, consistently keeping opponents from scoring effectively, exemplified by their dominant win over UCF and a commendable showing against TCU. However, close losses to formidable teams like Auburn and San Diego State raise questions about their ability to close out tight games. With a strong finish against upcoming opponents, particularly if they perform well against Texas Tech and Kansas again, Houston can further secure their top seed in the tournament.
