Projected seed: 12 (automatic qualifier)
McNeese has assembled a profile that earns a committee’s respect because it paired eye-catching neutral-site nonconference wins over Washington, Murray State and Middle Tennessee with a true road victory at Rhode Island. Its most damaging results are the blowout at Michigan and the early road setback at Santa Clara. The team backed its nonconference résumé with steady Southland performance highlighted by road wins at Lamar, Southeastern Louisiana and Northwestern Louisiana and a later reversal of the Incarnate Word loss and its path to moving up runs through more road and neutral success against conference foes such as SF Austin.
