Projection: likely out

Florida Atlantic sits on the outside looking in because its best résumé moments — wins over Memphis and Wichita State — show the team can beat quality opponents but they are offset by damaging losses away at Liberty and at St. Mary’s and a neutral-site setback to UCF that expose an uneven profile. The Owls have flashed toughness with road wins at UAB and at Temple yet they also have bad results, including a loss at Tulane and a home defeat to St. Bonaventure, which makes their body of work feel inconsistent in hostile environments. The remaining slate offers clear chances to repair the resume with winnable home dates and a road trip to North Texas, but it also includes tough tests at Memphis and Wichita State that could cement the negative side of their ledger. Given the mix of signature wins, concerning losses, and a middling showing away from home, the committee is likely to view this as an intriguing team that still falls short of a comfortable tournament bid.
