As long as a SWAC team not named Grambling or Southern plays and wins a strong enough OOC schedule + wins 7 or more games, they can be invited to the playoffs. That team would also have to avoid making the SWAC Championship Game.
There are hurdles but technically, The SWAC never came out as a conference to say they won't play in the playoffs. You just need a team like Alcorn, Jackson State or Prairie View to schedule and win high quality OOC games on the way to an 8-win season, avoiding the SCG.
