Projected seed: 11 (automatic qualifier)

South Florida’s profile supports an automatic berth and a modest seed because it pairs a late surge on neutral courts, including wins over Charlotte and Wichita State, with resume-building victories away at Wichita State and Memphis, showing the team can win without home-court advantage. Those signature moments blunt the damage from a brutal road loss at Alabama, the setback at Oklahoma State and neutral defeats to VCU and Colorado State, while inconsistent results such as the home loss to UAB and narrow defeats at Temple and earlier at Washington explain why the placement is not higher. The committee’s view is shaped by the quality of their best wins on the road and at neutral sites, the clear harm done by lopsided losses and untimely slips, and the simple reality that only more neutral-site success in league play or a deep conference run will move them off the line.
