Projected seed: 3

Texas Tech’s résumé is built on a string of high-value neutral and road victories that committees prize, including a neutral-site upset of Duke, road wins at Arizona and Baylor, and a statement home victory over Houston, all of which show the team can beat elite opponents away from home; those signature moments offset a rugged slate that featured tests against Purdue, Arkansas, Kansas and other quality foes. The profile is not spotless because a heavy neutral loss at Purdue was followed by damaging road setbacks at Illinois and UCF and a few home slips, so consistency is a legitimate question, but the quantity and quality of the marquee wins combined with solid road performances keep the club squarely in the upper seed range. A final road trip to BYU presents a clear opportunity to reinforce that standing before brackets are set.
