Projection: need to automatically qualify

Ga Southern’s résumé is anchored by a dramatic road victory at FGCU and a close home win over UNC Asheville and further solid wins over Louisiana Tech and Houston Christian that show the team can close tight games and beat midlevel opponents. Those bright spots are offset by a heavy loss at Florida State and neutral-court setbacks to Youngstown State and UT San Antonio that undermine any claim to quality nonconference credentials, and narrow setbacks at Georgia Tech and East Carolina raise questions about its ability to win away from home against better competition. The nonconference slate offers few signature scalps, so the evaluation now turns to Sun Belt play. Upcoming road tests at Old Dominion and South Alabama and conference trips to Marshall and James Madison present the clearest chances to add resume-defining wins while home dates with Georgia State and Coastal Carolina are opportunities to pile up league victories. If Ga Southern picks up meaningful wins away from home its case will improve markedly, but more losses in those pivotal spots would leave the season dependent on the conference tournament.
