Projection: need to automatically qualify

Georgia State’s resume points toward needing the automatic bid because the season is defined by a small string of resume-building wins, including a home victory over Marshall and road triumphs at Appalachian State and Coastal Carolina, that demonstrate the team can win in tough environments, but those bright spots are outweighed by a series of damaging losses away from home and on neutral courts. Lopsided defeats at South Dakota State and Arizona State and road setbacks at Eastern Michigan and Cincinnati undermine any at-large case, a nonconference stumble against Presbyterian and neutral losses to Samford and New Mexico State add to the concern, and inconsistent results at midweek road stops have left little margin for error. The remaining schedule presents a chance to repair the résumé with road tests at Louisiana and South Alabama and home chances against Troy and conference rivals, yet without a steady string of quality road or neutral wins the safest path to the field for this team runs through winning its conference’s automatic spot.
