Projected seed: 12 (automatic qualifier)

Tulsa’s résumé is built on a high-powered offense that produced dominant home showings against Rice and Arkansas Pine Bluff, road wins at UAB and WKU, and quality neutral-site victories over Northern Iowa and New Mexico State that give the profile real punch. The damage comes from a tight loss on the road at Kansas State and surprising setbacks at North Texas and at home to South Florida which expose defensive inconsistency and create clear vulnerability. Upcoming conference tests against Wichita State, a road trip to Florida Atlantic and a home date with UAB present obvious chances to add résumé-enhancing wins or to deepen the concerns. Those competing themes — eye-catching offensive wins, a handful of bad losses, and several still-open opportunities — explain why Tulsa looks tournament-worthy but remains positioned toward the lower end of the bracket.
