Projection: likely out

Jacksonville State’s resume shows a mixed bag of results that raises concerns about its NCAA tournament viability. While they have some strong wins, such as a notable victory over Liberty and a solid performance against Georgia Tech, their overall inconsistency is troubling. Losses to teams like Air Force and New Mexico State, who struggle in their respective standings, detract from their credibility. Their performance in close games—including dropping matches against South Alabama, WKU, and Kennesaw—illustrates a pattern of struggle when the stakes are high. To boost their chances, they need to secure more wins against the top-tier competition within Conference USA and avoid losses that will drag down their bid.
