Projection: likely out

The projection makes sense because Mississippi’s résumé shows a handful of nice moments but more damage than distinction away from home. Its best results are road victories at Georgia and at Mississippi State and a home win over Missouri, yet those are offset by nonconference setbacks at Iowa, Utah, Miami and St. John’s and by heavy defeats at Oklahoma, Arkansas and Alabama plus a costly home loss to rival Mississippi State. Road success has been scarce and the remaining stretch features tough tests at Texas A&M and Auburn along with home dates against Florida, LSU, Vanderbilt and South Carolina that are the team’s last clear chances to add a signature win; until Mississippi collects a marquee result away from its own court or steadies its travel form, the profile is going to struggle to convince a committee.
