Projection: need to automatically qualify

Charlotte’s profile is defined by a signature high-scoring win over Wichita State and a handful of road victories at UT San Antonio, Rice and Temple that prove it can win away, but that promise is undercut by a heavy loss at Utah State, a tough trip to Virginia Tech and neutral-site setbacks to Illinois State and Richmond alongside damaging losses at Appalachian State and College of Charleston, so the resume lacks the kind of top-level wins that sell on Selection Sunday. The remaining slate gives Charlotte clear chances to rebuild its case with repeat opportunities against Rice, UT San Antonio and East Carolina while also serving up brutal road tests at Wichita State, Memphis, Florida Atlantic and South Florida where breakthrough wins would matter greatly. With strong moments but conspicuous bad losses and only a mixed road resume, the committee is likely to view this team as needing an automatic qualification to be comfortably in.
