Projected seed: 13 (automatic qualifier)

Utah Valley’s profile is built on a string of solid mid‑major wins at home against UC Irvine and UC Santa Barbara and eye‑opening results away from campus such as the road victory at Bowling Green and commanding neutral‑site victories over Samford and North Dakota State, but those bright spots are tempered by damaging trips to Boise State and San Diego State and a lopsided defeat at Abilene Christian that undermine the resume, while a narrow loss at Fresno State suggests they can compete in hostile environments even when it does not go their way. The remaining WAC slate and upcoming road tests at Cal Baptist and Southern Utah along with home opportunities against Abilene Christian, UT Arlington and Utah Tech give clear ways to add resume‑building wins or to accumulate blemishes, so the team is viewed where it is because its best moments show it can win away from home and on neutral floors yet its worst results and the absence of a signature victory leave room for skepticism.
