Projection: need to automatically qualify

Elon’s résumé is a study in contrast: the offense has shown it can score in bunches in road wins at UNC Greensboro and in the dominant showing at Appalachian State, but the defense has surrendered too many points in damaging losses at Miami and at Marshall and in bad home setbacks to Mercer and Furman. The committee will notice that meaningful wins against high-quality opponents are scarce and that road success has been spotty rather than sustained, so signature victories away from home or on neutral floors would change the narrative. Upcoming nonconference opportunities against Richmond and the trip to Virginia Tech offer a clear path to a marquee résumé boost, while the league slate still contains winnable home dates and awkward road tests at conference powerhouses that will define how the resume is viewed. Put simply, Elon has flashes that prove it can compete but also blemishes that make at-large viability fragile, so every remaining quality opponent matters for how the season finishes.
