Projected seed: 11 (automatic qualifier)
McNeese’s resume hinges on a trio of neutral-site victories over Washington, Murray State and Middle Tennessee that prove the program can beat solid nonconference opponents away from home, but those quality wins are offset by road setbacks at Santa Clara and at Incarnate Word that leave a committee wondering about consistency away from Lake Charles. Upcoming road tests at Rhode Island and at Michigan are the most consequential chances to add a marquee result, and how the team performs in hostile conference environments such as at SF Austin, at Lamar and at New Orleans will determine whether the strong neutral wins hold up or the bad road losses define the profile.
