Projection: need to automatically qualify

Jackson State’s profile is defined by heavy defeats at major programs such as Illinois, Louisville, Auburn, Arkansas, Houston and Northwestern that overwhelm a résumé otherwise lacking signature victories. A bright spot is the road win at Louisiana that demonstrates the team can get a meaningful result away from home, but additional neutral-site setbacks to Hampton and Norfolk State and an early loss at Louisiana Tech compounded a nonconference résumé that offers little quality and was further damaged by the loss to Winthrop. The remainder of the calendar against league opponents such as Alcorn State, Alabama State, Alabama A&M, Prairie View and Texas Southern along with home dates against Arkansas–Pine Bluff and Mississippi Valley State and a string of conference road trips gives the team clear opportunity to rebuild credibility by winning in league play and in the conference tournament.
