Projected seed: 10 (last four in)

St. Louis's resume features clear positives — a neutral-site victory over Santa Clara, a road win at Loyola Marymount and a meaningful nonconference triumph against Grand Canyon — but those moments are offset by a narrow neutral loss at Stanford and a string of dominant results against low-end opponents that provide little resume lift. The Billikens have shown they can win away from home yet still lack a signature triumph against an established opponent, and the Atlantic Ten slate still hands them chances to change that story with road tests at VCU, Dayton and George Mason as well as home opportunities like San Francisco to shore up their standing. The profile keeps them firmly in the conversation because of the good results already on the ledger but it also makes clear that resume-enhancing wins away from their gym are needed to shift the outlook decisively.
