Projection: likely out

Seattle looks like an outsider because its season is built on a couple of high-end wins, most notably at Stanford and over Washington, that prove it can compete, but those flashes are buried beneath damaging results such as a neutral loss to UC Santa Barbara, a home setback to Cal Poly and heavy defeats to Gonzaga and at St. Mary’s that expose offensive inconsistency against top opponents. The defense has kept games within reach and accounts for the quality of some wins, yet the committee will notice the team’s inability to finish big road tests when it matters. With a stretch of winnable games at home against the likes of Pepperdine, Portland and Oregon State the roster still has chances to repair the profile, but looming trips to Santa Clara and another meeting at St. Mary’s are the sort of hostile environments where losses would likely seal an out projection unless Seattle produces signature road or neutral victories before the season ends.
