Projection: likely out
Florida Atlantic’s profile is a mix of encouraging offensive outings and worrying defensive lapses that have produced a few resume-building moments but also some ugly setbacks. Signature victories like the neutral win over College of Charleston, the road win at FGCU, and the home win against Boston College show the group can score in different settings, yet road losses at Liberty and at St. Mary’s and home defeats to George Mason and St. Bonaventure undercut that promise. Close loss on a neutral floor to UCF and an inability to take a clear scalp against established mid-major opponents leave the resume short on marquee wins, while the defense has been exposed away from home. The remaining schedule offers multiple chances to shift perception with road tests at Memphis, at UAB, and at Wichita State plus home dates with Tulane and Temple and easier-looking games like UT San Antonio and Charlotte that can build momentum. If Florida Atlantic strings together a few of those road or neutral victories, the committee narrative changes quickly, but without those sorts of wins the mixed résumé and defensive concerns keep it on shaky ground.
