Projected seed: 10

TCU has a resume that reads like a borderline tournament profile because its identity is clear but its results are mixed. An elite defense fuels eye-catching neutral wins over Florida and Wisconsin and important road victories at Baylor and Texas Tech, and narrow showings against Michigan and at Kansas show it can hang with the upper echelon. At the same time an early loss to New Orleans and a lopsided defeat at Colorado, plus road setbacks at BYU and Utah, offset those highs and expose an offense that can be inconsistent. A victory against Cincinnati in the regular season finale would give the resume a cleaner look and help turn defensive strength into a fuller case ahead of the conference tournament.
