Projection: need to automatically qualify
Nicholls State's disappointing start, with only one win and several losses against teams like New Mexico and Cincinnati, highlights their significant struggles, particularly on offense and defense. While they managed to grind out a close victory against Northern Kentucky, the overall resume lacks quality wins and doesn't showcase enough consistent performance. Upcoming games will be crucial, especially against lower-ranked opponents like Southeast Louisiana and New Orleans, where victories could help bolster their standing. However, the schedule features daunting matchups against Gonzaga and Cincinnati, which could severely impact their chances if they are unable to perform competitively. In a season where the competition is fierce, automatic qualification is their best shot at postseason play.
