Projected seed: 15 (automatic qualifier)
Tennessee‑Martin’s résumé is built around road victories at UNLV and Bradley and an early neutral win over Prairie View, yet it is undermined by a heavy loss at Southern Illinois, a neutral setback to Southern Miss and damaging results against conference peers such as Morehead State and SE Missouri State, so the profile reads like a team that can beat quality opponents away from home but also carries blemishes that rule out an at-large berth. Those signature road wins demonstrate the program can travel and win while the Southern Illinois blowout and losses at Tennessee State and to Morehead State create the kind of damaging entries that committees punish. Upcoming road dates at Lindenwood and SIUE along with home opportunities against SE Missouri State and Arkansas Little Rock are clear chances to erase bad results and add the sort of road success that matters. With that mix of notable high points, damaging lows and a conference slate that still offers a path forward the clearest route into the field is winning the conference tournament.
