Projected seed: 15 (automatic qualifier)

Idaho’s résumé has a clear top moment in a road upset at Washington State and meaningful road resilience at South Dakota State, but those bright spots are offset by a lopsided neutral setback to Sam Houston State, a rough night at Notre Dame and several nonconference road losses at San Diego and UC San Diego that leave the profile with too many damaging results and too few signature neutral-site wins; given that mix the safest route onto the tournament bracket is by winning the Big Sky tournament, where recent neutral-site victories over Montana State and Montana show this group can string together the wins needed to earn the automatic spot.
