Projected seed: 11 (last four in)

Oklahoma is on the bubble because its résumé is a study in peaks and valleys: it owns eye-opening road and neutral victories like the neutral win over Marquette and road wins at Wake Forest, Vanderbilt and LSU plus a neutral success in Kansas City over Missouri and solid home wins against Auburn and Georgia that showcase what this team can do, but those signature moments are offset by ugly defeats at Gonzaga and Tennessee and a string of damaging results around the league and nonconference slate including trips to Kentucky and Mississippi State and home losses to Florida and Alabama that reveal defensive vulnerability and inconsistency, so the upcoming road date at Texas is the clearest chance to turn upside into a resume-saving win and without that kind of signature road result the committee will view this profile as a borderline play-in case.
