Projection: need to automatically qualify

Louisiana’s at-large case is shaky because its resume offers only a few meaningful victories, the most notable being wins over ULM and a true road triumph at South Alabama, while a string of brutal road blowouts at Stanford, Santa Clara, McNeese State and UC Davis and poor results at Ball State and Jackson State have inflicted clear damage a committee will notice; the Sun Belt slate has more losses than quality wins and the remaining games — including a road date at Old Dominion and trips to James Madison and Troy alongside home chances against Georgia State and Central Michigan — are useful opportunities but none are guaranteed signature wins on a neutral floor, so the most reliable path for this roster to the Big Dance is to secure the conference’s automatic berth.
