St. Mary's stands where it does because its résumé blends meaningful neutral wins over Wichita State and Virginia Tech and resume-building road victories at Davidson, Loyola Marymount, Pepperdine and San Francisco with some damaging setbacks. The neutral blowout loss to Vanderbilt and the narrow neutral defeat to Boise State, plus the road stumble at Santa Clara, undercut what the otherwise strong road résumé and stingy defense have earned. Upcoming conference games at Portland and Gonzaga along with home dates against San Diego, San Francisco and Pepperdine and road tests at Pacific, Seattle and Washington State give St. Mary's clear chances to solidify its standing or to slide depending on how it finishes the season.
