Projected seed: 7
Mississippi has started the season strong with a solid overall record, taking wins against teams like Grambling and South Alabama, but their resume still lacks significant marquee victories. The presence of a challenging upcoming schedule is crucial; games against BYU and Louisville provide opportunities for quality wins that could dramatically enhance their résumé. However, their defensive rankings suggest they may struggle against higher-ranked opponents like Auburn and Tennessee, which puts their current seed projection at risk and emphasizes the importance of securing victories in matchups where they are favored, such as against Southern Miss and Lindenwood. As the season progresses, consistency in performance and capitalizing on these opportunities will be vital for their tournament aspirations.
