Projection: likely out

The projection is rooted in a clear resume pattern: Providence has shown it can score with anybody and picked up meaningful victories like the road win at St John's and a neutral-site triumph over Penn State while beating quality conference opponents at home such as Creighton and Butler, but those bright spots are offset by ugly neutral losses to Florida and Wisconsin and a string of damaging road defeats at Connecticut, Villanova and Xavier that expose defensive inconsistency and an inability to close out hostile environments. The Big East slate has given them chances to prove themselves but head-to-head setbacks against league contenders and a thin portfolio of true quad road or neutral wins leave the committee wary, so upcoming chances at Creighton, at Georgetown and at home against Xavier and Marquette become the decisive opportunities to change perception.
