Projection: need to automatically qualify
South Alabama's performance this season has been something of a rollercoaster, with no clear evidence of dominance, especially against higher-caliber opponents. Dropping games against teams like Nicholls St and ULM, who have struggled themselves, suggests inconsistency. Tough losses against the likes of Alabama, James Madison, and Appalachian State highlight challenges they face when stepping up in competition. Getting a win over Troy was a bright spot, but it's not enough to mask the blemishes of multiple defeats to equally matched Sun Belt teams. To make noise in March, South Alabama would need to catch fire in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament and snatch the automatic bid, as their resume simply doesn't stack up for an at-large berth.
