Projected seed: 15 (automatic qualifier)

Austin Peay’s profile tells a coherent story: the Governors have collected convincing conference home wins and useful road victories at Air Force, UNC Greensboro and FGCU that show they can close games away from home, but their nonconference campaign is marred by losses at Wyoming, Mississippi, Tulsa and Kent and a puzzling trip to UTRGV that undercuts any claim to a signature scalp. The committee will see a team that beats its peers in the Atlantic Sun yet lacks a marquee neutral-site or power-conference win to justify an at-large case, so the coming stretch of games at Queens, trips to North Florida and Jacksonville and the home-and-away set with Bellarmine and Central Arkansas are important chances to improve the resume but are not guaranteed to deliver the kind of résumé-defining victory that avoids the need to win the league tournament.
