Projected seed: 12 (automatic qualifier)

Grand Canyon’s case rests on a stout defense and a resume that has flashed potential but also left room for doubt, with a neutral-court victory over Utah showing it can win away from its arena while road losses at St. Louis and a neutral defeat to Iowa stand out as damaging results and an early setback to Youngstown State remains a blemish. Most of the comfortable wins came against lesser competition at home, so the committee will be watching how the team performs in true tests, and the remaining slate — a neutral meeting with Oklahoma State and road trips to Boise State and San Diego State along with pivotal home games against New Mexico, Wyoming and UNLV — presents clear chances to add the road and neutral victories that would silence the skeptics or to accumulate more damaging results that would reinforce current doubts.
