Projection: need to automatically qualify
Southern Miss’s résumé is defined by flashes of promise and a couple of damaging slip‑ups: competitive road showings at Buffalo and South Carolina and neutral‑site wins over North Florida and Tennessee Martin plus a true road victory at Radford demonstrate the team can win away from home. Those best moments are undermined by a costly loss at Grambling and defensive lapses that have turned some winnable chances into resume damage. With high‑visibility chances still to come at Miami, in a neutral test with Mississippi and on the road at LSU along with a conference stretch featuring Louisiana, Arkansas State, ULM, Troy, Texas State, South Alabama, Marshall and Old Dominion, the path to improving the committee’s view is clear — notch quality wins on the road or at neutral sites and avoid further damaging conference results.
