Projected seed: 9

Auburn’s resume balances eye-catching neutral-site victories and resume-building wins with a string of damaging defeats away from home, and that split explains its current projection. The team has proven it can beat quality opponents away from its home court with neutral wins over Oregon and St. John’s and a notable victory over NC State, yet those highlights are tempered by heavy neutral losses to Michigan and Purdue and troublesome road setbacks at Arizona and Georgia that underscore inconsistency in hostile settings. The remainder of the league slate lays out clear chances to change the story with road tests at Mississippi, Florida, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Alabama and significant home dates against Texas, Kentucky, Mississippi and LSU, so a few signature results in those spots would push the profile firmly toward the safe side while more bad losses away from home would deepen committee concerns.
