Projection: likely out

Mississippi’s résumé is anchored by a solid home victory over Memphis but is otherwise filled with expected nonconference wins while neutral-site losses to Iowa and Utah and a setback to Miami expose a team that hasn’t yet produced a signature win away from home or on a neutral floor. The SEC slate still offers clear chances to alter that picture with true tests on the road at St. John’s, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Tennessee and Texas and with a neutral meeting against NC State, while manageable home dates against Arkansas, Missouri and Mississippi State provide opportunities to shore up the resume. The committee will weigh the competitiveness of those losses and the scarcity of marquee hostile wins to date, and the quickest path out of the margin is strong results in those hostile environments.
