Projected seed: 15 (automatic qualifier)

Austin Peay's projection reflects a résumé that flashes quality but bears damaging blemishes, with signature moments like the road win at Air Force, a gritty victory at UNC Greensboro, strong showings at FGCU and at Eastern Kentucky, and eye-opening home scoring against North Florida proving the team can win away and put up points. Those highs are countered by ugly road setbacks at Wyoming and troubling losses at Mississippi, Tulsa, Kent and UTRGV that leave the nonconference case thin and limit margin for error. With key chances remaining against Bellarmine at home and on the road plus trips to North Florida and Jacksonville and a winnable date with Central Arkansas, Austin Peay can still improve its standing, but the clearest path to the field runs through a conference-tournament run.
