Projection: first four out
Washington State's current standing is precarious, primarily due to a mixed bag of results. Their impressive victories against solid opponents like Boise State and Bradley provide some credentialing, but losses to teams like Iowa and SMU highlight vulnerabilities, particularly on offense where they struggle against tougher defenses. Upcoming games present a mix of opportunities and challenges; games against San Francisco and St. Mary's will be critical for their resume—winning these can enhance their profile but losing could deepen the hole they’re digging for themselves. The potential upset against Gonzaga could be monumental, but even competitive losses might not cut it in a crowded field competing for those coveted tournament spots.
