2026-27 Outlook
LangIndex projects Georgia Southern at #153 nationally for the 2026-27 college basketball season with a projected efficiency margin of +0.4 points per 100 possessions. That's a major climb from #239 a season ago, one of the bigger projected rises in the country. The model expects a rebuilding-type season.
Only 10% of last season's minutes return, so this roster will look very different. Expect some early-season volatility while new pieces settle in.

Georgia Southern finished 2025-26 at 19-16, ranked #239 in the final LangIndex ratings with adjusted offense of 107.2 and adjusted defense of 116.6 points per 100 possessions.
How LangIndex Rates Georgia Southern
Georgia Southern's power rating of +0.4 is an adjusted efficiency margin: the points per 100 possessions the model expects them to outscore an average Division I team by, once you strip out schedule strength. It combines adjusted offensive efficiency, adjusted defensive efficiency, and pace into one number, so a rating of +0.4 means Georgia Southern projects to beat a neutral-court average team by about 0 points on a typical night.
