Projected seed: 1 (automatic qualifier)

Auburn's exceptional record against high-caliber opponents underscores its strong positioning for a top seed. Victories over teams like Houston, Iowa State, and Purdue highlight their ability to compete with the best, while their narrow loss to Duke demonstrates they can hang with elite teams. The balance of their offense is evident through consistent scoring in games against teams like North Carolina and Oklahoma, while their defense has proven effective against strong scoring opponents like Mississippi State and Missouri. Upcoming matchups against teams such as Alabama and Texas A&M present opportunities for further resume strengthening, but they also face potential challenges that could affect their standing if they stumble. Overall, Auburn has crafted an impressive portfolio that should earn them a high seed as they near selection day.
