Projection: need to automatically qualify

Jackson State's résumé essentially makes its conference tournament the only realistic path to the national field because the season is defined by lopsided road losses at major programs at Illinois, at Louisville, at Auburn, at Arkansas, at Houston and at TCU and by defeats at neutral sites against Hampton and Norfolk State that together wreck an at-large case. Its few useful results, led by a road victory at Louisiana and scattered wins over lower-tier conference foes, lack the quality to erase those damaging losses and the rest of the schedule is dominated by league matchups and weaker nonconference opponents that can preserve seeding but are unlikely to produce the signature wins needed to avoid needing the conference crown.
