Projected seed: 5

Vanderbilt’s résumé reads like a classic committee-friendly profile because it pairs high-end neutral nonconference wins over St. Mary’s and VCU with resume-building road victories at Wake Forest and Memphis and signature home wins over Alabama and Kentucky that show it can beat top opponents in multiple settings. Those best moments are offset by damaging trips to Texas and Arkansas and a narrow loss at Missouri plus a heartbreaker against Oklahoma that raise questions about consistency away from its own gym. The schedule is stout and the team has already proven it can win on the road and at neutral sites, and a closing road date at Tennessee is the clear last chance to erase the blemishes and lock down where it belongs on Selection Sunday.
