Projected seed: 10

St. Louis' placement makes sense because its résumé blends quality road and neutral-site victories with a handful of damaging setbacks, leaving the committee comfortable with the team but wary of inconsistency. The Billikens have earned impressive wins on the road at VCU and at Davidson and have beaten strong conference foes at home, while a tight neutral outing against Stanford and a neutral win over Santa Clara show they can handle pressure away from home. Those highs are softened by a heavy loss at George Mason and trips to Dayton and Rhode Island that exposed streaks of uneven play, which keep the résumé from being truly secure. Wins over George Washington and a marquee victory over Dayton bolster the résumé, and upcoming neutral matchups with George Washington and Dayton are the clearest chances to add signature results and push the committee to view the profile more favorably.
