Projection: first four out

George Mason’s resume is anchored by a string of comfortable wins and a couple of neutral-site victories over Ohio and Florida Atlantic that show the team can close against solid opponents, but it still lacks a true signature road triumph that would eliminate doubt. The best moments are those neutral wins and the way the roster has handled mid-major opponents at home; the clearest weakness is that many of the marquee results come against lesser competition and won’t impress a committee without complementary road or neutral success. That puts a premium on the remaining slate — especially the trip to Virginia Tech, the road tests at La Salle, St Bonaventure, Richmond and VCU and the chance to beat names like Dayton, Davidson and George Washington — because wins in those spots would convert the good baseline into a resume that can stand up under scrutiny while more home victories would only reinforce what’s already there.
