Projection: need to automatically qualify
Northwestern LA is currently in a challenging position with a tough start to the season and limited success in the early games. Their losses against Texas Tech and Oklahoma highlight significant gaps, particularly in both offense and defense, as they struggled against superior teams. With upcoming games against stronger opponents like LSU and California, the team faces a daunting schedule that could further hinder their chances. To bolster their postseason hopes, they must focus on winning critical matchups against teams like Nicholls State and Texas A&M Commerce, where they have slightly better chances. Securing those wins will be vital, especially against conference rivals, as it could influence their standing in the Southland Conference and improve their chances of earning an automatic qualification to the tournament.
