Projected seed: 12 (automatic qualifier)

McNeese’s resume has the kind of headliner wins that sell a tournament case with neutral-site scalps of Washington, Murray State and Middle Tennessee and a road victory at Rhode Island that proves they can win away from home. Those signature moments are offset by a brutal loss at Michigan and damaging road setbacks at Santa Clara and Incarnate Word that keep their profile from climbing higher, but they have cleaned up in conference with a tight win over SF Austin and steady results against league opponents while piling up decisive wins over lesser Southland rivals. The remaining schedule features winnable games at New Orleans and Nicholls State plus trips to Northwestern State and UTRGV that give them straightforward chances to erase blemishes and finish with momentum, which is why they project where they do.
