Projected seed: 15 (automatic qualifier)

Grambling's résumé is defined by modest highs and damaging losses, with a road victory at Howard and a home win over Southern Miss standing out while a lopsided trip to Iowa State and road defeats at San Diego, Cal Baptist and UC Riverside expose how fragile the team has been away from its own court. A competitive outing at Tulane shows the roster can hang with stronger mid-major opposition, yet signature victories are scarce, and upcoming neutral-site games against Norfolk State and Hampton along with a daunting road date at Ohio State are immediate chances to change the narrative. What follows is conference play against Prairie View, Texas Southern and the league's other opponents with road tests at Bethune-Cookman, Florida A&M, Jackson State and Alcorn State where wins will bolster the ledger but will do little to erase the damage from the nonconference road slate unless Grambling can also pull off a neutral-site or road upset or make a deep run in the conference tournament.
