Projected seed: 16 (automatic qualifier, play-in game) (automatic qualifier)

Stetson’s resume is anchored by modest home victories over Howard and VMI and a credible neutral-site showing against Southern Utah, but those flashes of competence are swamped by a string of lopsided road defeats at Rhode Island, Miami, Grand Canyon and South Carolina and poor outcomes away at Robert Morris and Wright State that leave little in the way of quality wins. The nonconference slate was ambitious in opponent selection yet delivered damaging results, so the committee will see a team that has been tested but rarely proven away from home or on neutral floors. The remainder of the schedule, with road tests at Lipscomb, FGCU and Bellarmine and home opportunities against North Florida and Jacksonville, represents the only realistic pathway to repair the résumé, because meaningful road or neutral victories will be needed to erase the bad losses and alter how Stetson is viewed come selection time.
