Projected seed: 4

Kansas’ résumé is anchored by signature neutral-site wins over Tennessee, Syracuse and Notre Dame and by authoritative home victories against Iowa State and Baylor that show it can beat quality opponents decisively. Those highlights are offset by damaging defeats away at North Carolina and West Virginia and by setbacks at UCF plus neutral losses to Duke and Connecticut that expose inconsistency. Road wins at NC State, Colorado and Kansas State prove this team can get it done outside Lawrence and keep the profile from collapsing, while looming tests at Arizona and at Iowa State along with a trip to Texas Tech and high-profile home dates against Cincinnati and Houston give Kansas clear chances to either solidify or imperil its standing. Taken together, the body of work reads like a strong tournament résumé with room to improve if the Jayhawks close the season without more damaging losses.
