Projection: likely out

Mississippi’s season is defined by a standout home win over Memphis and a string of damaging neutral-site and road setbacks at Iowa, Utah, NC State, St John’s and Oklahoma plus a high-scoring home loss to Arkansas. Those results leave the résumé light on meaningful road and neutral victories and make the comfortable home wins over SE Louisiana and ULM feel less valuable in the committee’s eyes. The rest of the conference slate hands them clear chances to repair the picture through home games against Missouri, Auburn, Alabama, Florida, LSU and South Carolina while also offering true résumé changers in road trips to Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas, Vanderbilt and Texas A&M. How Mississippi performs away from home and whether it can produce a marquee road victory will determine if the early red ink can be erased by late-season signature results.
