Projection: likely out

San Francisco’s résumé is anchored by quality neutral wins over Minnesota and Mississippi State and by road victories at Seattle and Pepperdine that show it can win away from home. Those positives are offset by damaging setbacks such as the upset loss at North Alabama, tough home defeats by St Mary’s and Santa Clara and road losses at St Louis and Oregon State, and even the narrow defeats at Gonzaga and Loyola Marymount expose inconsistency against top competition. That balance leaves the Dons with some signature wins but also blemishes that undermine their profile. Upcoming games against Pacific and Loyola Marymount, a trip to St Mary’s, a home date with Oregon State, a road game at San Diego and another meeting with Gonzaga are clear chances to improve the case by beating a quality opponent or by proving they can win on the road while more bad results would make it very difficult for the committee to include them.
