Projection: need to automatically qualify

Campbell’s resume is built around a couple of encouraging wins and a string of road defeats that make its current standing understandable. A neutral-site victory over UT Arlington and a home win over Western Michigan represent the program’s clearest positive results, but difficult losses at Wisconsin, West Virginia, Penn State and Weber State and a lopsided trip to Wake Forest have undercut the resume by showing a struggle to win away from power-conference competition. The remaining slate contains a brutal road date at Gonzaga and a tough trip to Minnesota that would count as marquee improvements if they turned into upsets, while conference play presents several winnable opportunities against the likes of Charleston, Drexel, Hofstra and UNC Wilmington where road wins would be needed to repair the profile. In short, there are paths to change the picture, but the lack of neutral- or road-site signature wins combined with those damaging nonconference losses explain why Campbell’s safest path to the postseason runs through strong results over the rest of the schedule.
