Projection: likely out

The Seminoles' profile this season is the very picture of inconsistency, with notable highlights indeed but also some pretty glaring hiccups. A red flag is clearly the lack of significant, high-caliber wins; we are talking about the kind of victories that make the selection committee sit up and take notice. While they've shown capabilities with an assertive win against North Carolina during tournament play, the losses to teams like Louisville and a home slip against Lipscomb muddy the waters substantially. Their offense has shown some firepower, but the defense hasn't consistently delivered, which is crucial in a tournament setting. A more resilient defense and signature wins against top-tier conference opponents would really have amplified their case. The bottom line is, against a backdrop of a competitive field, when you've got blemishes against both high and low-ranked teams and a thin resume of statement wins, the likelihood of an at-large bid grows slim.
