Projected seed: 13 (automatic qualifier)
Vermont sits where it does because its résumé blends meaningful road wins at Brown and Northeastern and a neutral-site victory over Princeton that show it can win away from home, but that resume is marred by a damaging road loss at Buffalo and neutral setbacks to Liberty and Rhode Island that blunt its nonconference profile. The remaining slate offers clear chances to change the narrative with tough road tests at Oregon State and Pepperdine and a home date with Yale while the America East schedule otherwise provides opportunities to pile up wins, yet none of those conference games will eclipse the value of winning the conference tournament. Committees will reward the road and neutral successes but will also mark the bad losses, so Vermont needs an eye-catching result on the rest of its schedule or a conference title to feel secure.
