Projected seed: 5 (automatic qualifier)

The projection fits because the resume pairs signature wins away from home and on neutral courts with some high-profile setbacks, and the committee rewards teams that can beat quality opponents off their own floor; road victories at Villanova and Creighton and neutral-site scalps of Baylor and Connecticut show St. John's can win in difficult environments, while a lopsided loss at Connecticut and neutral defeats to Alabama, Kentucky, and Auburn plus a narrow neutral setback to Iowa State temper the upside and force caution. If the Red Storm can add another marquee road or neutral victory they will cement this standing, whereas further poor results away from home would quickly erode it.
