Projected seed: 11 (automatic qualifier)
McNeese State has shown resilience in a challenging schedule, picking up key victories against North Texas and Illinois State, which bolster their profile. However, losses to better-ranked teams like Alabama and Mississippi State highlight their vulnerabilities against higher competition. The defense stands out, evidenced by their performance against teams like North Texas and Liberty, where they effectively restricted scoring. Upcoming games are critical; strong performances against teams like Lamar and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi could solidify their standing, especially if they maintain their current winning momentum against less challenging opponents like New Orleans and Incarnate Word. However, slipping up against any of the teams they are favored against could significantly damage their chances for an automatic qualifier.
