Projection: need to automatically qualify

Nicholls State’s resume presents challenges for an at-large bid, mainly due to their inconsistent performance against stronger opponents and a lack of notable wins. Losses against New Mexico and Cincinnati highlight difficulties when stepping up in competition, along with their struggles against even moderately ranked teams like South Alabama and McNeese State. While they’ve secured victories against Southland opponents, their best wins are against teams like Lamar and Incarnate Word, which don't carry substantial weight in the eyes of the selection committee. To enhance their standing, consistency in both their offensive and defensive play is crucial, especially in upcoming conference matchups where they must not only win but also impress with convincing performances to bolster their profile as the season progresses.
