Projection: likely out

Arkansas State's resume presents a mixed bag that leans toward mediocrity. Despite several solid victories, including a notable win against Memphis, the team has struggled against higher-tier opponents, such as Alabama and Troy, where they couldn't secure crucial wins. Additionally, a weak defense has played a role in losses to mid-level teams like UAB and South Alabama. While the team has a handful of wins against lower-ranked opponents, the lack of quality wins and the number of losses, particularly against rivals in their conference, leave them vulnerable in the eyes of the selection committee. Upcoming games against stronger teams will provide an opportunity to bolster their resume, but they must turn around their inconsistency in both offense and defense to enhance their standing effectively.
