Projected seed: 7 (automatic qualifier)

St. Louis’s resume is built on a few meaningful highs and a long list of easy wins, anchored by a true-road victory at VCU and a tight neutral win over Santa Clara while a close neutral loss to Stanford showed it can compete with better nonconference opponents; those strong moments give the committee confidence even though most nonconference victories came against low-major opposition and therefore carry limited weight. Solid home wins over Richmond and San Francisco add credibility but the absence of multiple signature road or neutral triumphs keeps the resume from feeling elite. With several winnable conference games still on the docket, including trips to St. Bonaventure and Davidson and home chances against Dayton and VCU, the team can still upgrade its profile, but a stumble at road venues such as Dayton or Rhode Island would be the kind of damaging result that would undo the margin for error the current resume affords.
