Projection: need to automatically qualify

TX Southern's resume is concerning, particularly with several losses to lower-ranked teams, including the tight loss to Arkansas Pine Bluff and narrow defeat against Florida A&M, revealing a struggle to dominate within their own conference. The team has faced tough non-conference opponents, like Xavier and Georgia, but those results only emphasize the gap between TX Southern and quality teams, with large point differentials in losses to New Mexico and Boise State. While their victories over lower-ranked teams like Mississippi Valley State and Grambling highlight some potential, their overall season record and computer rankings indicate that automatic qualification through the Southwestern Athletic Conference is the most viable path to the NCAA tournament. Remaining games against teams like Alcorn State and Prairie View offer critical opportunities to improve standings, although these matchups are no guarantee of success given their inconsistent offensive and defensive metrics.
