Projected seed: 14 (automatic qualifier)

St. Thomas’ résumé sits where it does because it combines a signature neutral win over Colorado and genuine road success in league play, including victories at Oral Roberts, Portland, South Dakota and South Dakota State, with a set of losses that raise legitimate questions. The program’s worst moments came through a heavy trip to St. Mary’s in California, a road defeat at Washington State, a neutral-site loss to Cal State Fullerton and a tough road outing at Montana State, and the blemishes are compounded by sloppy results against conference foes like North Dakota and Nebraska Omaha. Committees will reward the ability to win away from home and the clear dominance shown in several league wins, yet they will also penalize the nonconference stumbles and the untidy home losses when deciding how much credibility to give the résumé. Upcoming chances on the road at Missouri-Kansas City and at Denver plus home dates with North Dakota State and Nebraska Omaha give St. Thomas a straightforward pathway to erase doubt and reinforce the placement.
