Projected seed: 15 (automatic qualifier)

Austin Peay projects where it does because its resume is heavy on conference control and road wins at mid‑major sites but light on a signature victory over a high‑major opponent. Road wins at Air Force, FGCU, Eastern Kentucky and Queens show it can close games away from home and home triumphs over Bellarmine and North Florida underscore league dominance, yet damaging losses at Mississippi, Tulsa, Wyoming and at Kent expose a clear weakness against stronger competition. Upcoming road dates at North Florida and Jacksonville and games with Central Arkansas and at Bellarmine give the team tangible chances to change perceptions, but without a marquee nonconference scalp its surest route to the tournament is to win the conference crown.
