Their ticket to the Sweet 16 is their seeding and the geographical advantage they will have.

They are way overrated.
Other than Kentucky, I don't think you can really earmark anyone for the final four this year and be all that confident about it. After them there are probably a dozen or so teams that have a reasonable shot at getting that far. Also, almost any team with a 1 or 2 seeding has a favorable path laid out to at least the sweet 16. Gonzaga isn't going to be an exception. It's just how it works. There have been years, for example, that Duke and UNC haven't even had to leave the state of NC until the Final Four.
