Projection: need to automatically qualify

Bowling Green’s résumé is defined by a signature road win at Kansas State and a collection of quality road results at Massachusetts, Western Michigan and Ohio that show the team can win away from home. Those highs are undermined by damaging setbacks to Akron, Buffalo and Miami (Ohio) and by nonconference losses at Davidson and William & Mary that erode at-large appeal. The rest of the schedule hands them multiple clear opportunities to repair the profile against Central Michigan, Ball State, Northern Illinois, Western Michigan and Massachusetts while a couple of tougher trips to Arkansas State and to Miami (Ohio) could swing perception the other way. With so few truly marquee victories beyond the Kansas State statement and several blemishes that selection committees tend to remember, the cleanest path to the NCAA tournament runs through the conference’s automatic spot.
