Projection: likely out

San Francisco needs an automatic berth because its resume pairs a couple of eye-opening neutral wins over Minnesota and Mississippi State with damaging setbacks like the upset at North Alabama and heavy losses at Saint Mary’s and Santa Clara. The team has shown it can win away from campus, coming through at Seattle, San Diego and Pacific, yet those road successes are undermined by defeats at Saint Louis, Oregon State and Gonzaga and by too many home losses that weaken any at-large narrative. The best moments demonstrate the staff’s ability to beat quality nonconference opponents on neutral floors while the worst moments reveal inconsistent defense and lapses that committees penalize. With no clear body of signature wins, the clearest path to the field runs through conference play and the conference tournament where San Francisco still controls its fate.
