Projection: need to automatically qualify
South Alabama's resume shows potential but also significant weaknesses that hinder their at-large chances. Notably, they've suffered losses to teams like Central Michigan and Old Dominion, which could damage their credibility in the eyes of the selection committee. Their offensive performance has struggled against stronger opponents, as seen in the game against Mississippi and TCU, both resulting in underscored totals that highlight scoring issues against tough defenses. Conversely, strong wins against teams such as Jacksonville State and Texas State suggest they can contend with competitive squads, but inconsistency remains a concern. To enhance their standing, they need to perform well in the upcoming conference tournament, especially against higher-ranked opponents like Arkansas State, to solidify their case for an automatic bid.
