Projection: need to automatically qualify
Austin Peay's current resume is quite fragile, with only two wins against teams not considered top-tier and a glaring loss to a powerhouse like Tennessee. The victories against Butler and Chattanooga provide a glimmer of hope, but the overall record and a weak strength of schedule will likely hinder their chances for an at-large bid. Upcoming games present crucial opportunities, especially against teams like Georgia State and UT Arlington, where success could solidify their standing. However, losing any of the more favorable matchups against lower-ranked opponents, such as North Florida or Jacksonville, could severely damage their chances to contend for an automatic qualification through the conference tournament.
