Projection: need to automatically qualify

Nicholls’ profile shows a few solid moments but not the kind that convinces a selection committee, with heavy road defeats at the high-major hosts Kentucky, Creighton, Oklahoma State and Murray State overshadowing modest wins over league and low-major opponents like Incarnate Word and Houston Christian; the team has picked up useful road victories at TAM C. Christi and New Orleans and has beaten East Texas A&M and Northwestern Louisiana at home, yet damaging setbacks away at McNeese State and at SF Austin and the lopsided losses at major venues leave the resume short on signature, neutral-site proof, so the only realistic path into the field is to claim the Southland’s automatic bid.
