Projection: likely out

San Francisco’s resume looks more like an exclusion than an at-large case because the résumé is built around a handful of neutral-site wins over Minnesota, Mississippi State and Loyola-Chicago and a legit road victory at Pepperdine while being marred by an inexplicable home loss to North Alabama, neutral setbacks to Colorado and Nevada and several road defeats at the likes of Memphis and St. Louis that undermine its credibility. The remaining schedule still contains high-leverage chances — most notably a trip to Gonzaga and a visit to St. Mary’s — and several more winnable league games against Pacific, Oregon State, San Diego and Loyola Marymount to bolster the ledger, but without a signature road or neutral scalp the committee will likely view the Dons as short on quality wins and too burdened by bad losses to earn an at-large nod.
