Projection: likely out

Bowling Green’s resume hinges on a landmark road triumph at Kansas State and eye-catching neutral-site victories over Bucknell and VMI that prove it can win away from home, but those highs are undercut by a tight defeat at Davidson and a home loss to William & Mary that reveal offensive inconsistency against quality opponents. The defense has been the steadier unit, allowing the team to blow past lesser foes like Chicago State, yet beyond the Kansas State breakthrough the Falcons have few sustained wins away from their own gym. Upcoming conference tests at Kent and at Toledo along with important showdowns at home against Akron and Miami of Ohio give clear chances to erase bad results or to add the kind of road and neutral successes a committee prioritizes, and those outcomes will decide whether the signature win looks like proof of tournament-level upside or an isolated highlight that cannot overcome earlier damage.
