Projected seed: 13 (automatic qualifier)

Oregon’s résumé is defined by comfortable home wins over Hawaii, Rice, South Dakota State and Oregon State but those victories come against modest opposition and have not been backed up on the road or at neutral sites. Neutral losses to Auburn, San Diego State and Creighton and conference setbacks at UCLA and against USC stand out as damaging results that a committee will notice, because there are few signature wins away from the Ducks’ own building to counterbalance them. The slate still includes clear opportunities to change perception—a neutral meeting with Gonzaga, high‑profile home dates with Michigan and Michigan State, a home test against Ohio State and tough league trips to Maryland, Purdue and Illinois—but until Oregon captures a marquee result away from home or on a neutral floor the résumé reads like a team that has been strong in its own arena yet vulnerable in bigger spots.
