Projected seed: 7

Auburn's resume supports a mid-range seed because the Tigers have proven they can win big away from home and on neutral courts with a road victory at Florida and neutral-site wins over Oregon and St. John's, and they have quality home scalps such as Texas, NC State and Arkansas that showcase a potent offense. Those highs are tempered by damaging defeats on neutral floors to Michigan and Purdue and a heavy road loss at Arizona that expose an inconsistent defense and limit upside. With remaining resume-building road tests at Arkansas, Oklahoma and Alabama and home chances against Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi and LSU, Auburn can still climb with signature wins or fall if it stumbles, so the projected placement reflects both its top moments and the clear vulnerabilities that remain.
