Projection: need to automatically qualify

Air Force’s résumé is built largely on wins over lower-level opponents like Alabama State, SIUE and IUPUI while the season is marred by a string of damaging road defeats at Belmont, San Diego State, Boise State, Colorado State and New Mexico along with a heavy home loss to Utah State and a neutral-site setback to South Dakota, so there is scant evidence of the kind of quality victories or road and neutral-site résumé that selection committees reward. With the remainder of the schedule offering tough trips to Grand Canyon, Fresno State, New Mexico and Nevada and only limited home chances against teams such as San Diego State and Colorado State the practical path for this team to reach the NCAA field is to win the conference tournament and claim the automatic berth.
