Projected seed: 10 (automatic qualifier)

Auburn’s body of work pairs high-end offensive nights with a string of damaging defensive losses, leaving its resume squarely on the bubble. The neutral-site win over Oregon and the home victory over NC State, along with a neutral triumph over St. John’s, show the team can beat quality opposition, while neutral setbacks to Michigan and Purdue and a road drubbing at Arizona expose vulnerabilities away from home. Dominant results against Bethune-Cookman, Merrimack, Wofford, Jackson State and Chattanooga pad the ledger without much resume value, and a conference slate that still includes trips to Florida and Tennessee plus home tests against Kentucky, Alabama and LSU presents clear opportunities to add resume-making wins or to confirm the concerns.
