Projected seed: 15 (automatic qualifier)

ETSU’s resume reads like a strong conference performer with a few signature road victories at Wofford and Chattanooga and a statement home win over Furman that show the team can win outside its building, but those positives are undercut by damaging setbacks such as a nonconference home loss to Presbyterian, a puzzling defeat to Jacksonville State and losses in each meeting with Western Carolina that blunt any at-large case. Expected losses at Dayton and at North Carolina do little to bolster the profile, leaving a schedule light on true marquee wins, so the committee will view the résumé as clean but limited. A string of remaining league games, highlighted by road tests at Furman and at UNC Greensboro and a trip to Mercer plus manageable home dates against Chattanooga, Samford and Wofford, give ETSU clear chances to add meaningful road or neutral wins and erase the sting of those bad results, but avoiding another costly slip will be essential to maintaining its current standing.
