Projected seed: 14 (automatic qualifier)

Col Charleston’s resume mixes a few positive moments with enough ugly defeats to explain why they sit where they do: neutral-site wins over Massachusetts and Evansville and a solid home victory over South Carolina State show the offense can carry them, but road losses at Liberty and South Florida and a lopsided setback against Belmont underline an inability to win away from home and leave the ledger short on resume-defining wins. The pattern in their results suggests the offense can produce while the defense is too often exposed in losses, which amplifies the damage of poor showings against better teams. The rest of the schedule hands them several manageable home dates against the likes of Citadel, NC A&T, Campbell and Monmouth alongside a run of critical away tests at Elon, Towson, Hofstra and UNC Wilmington that will determine whether they can erase the blemishes; without road wins or a meaningful run in the league event the current profile leaves little margin for error.
