Projection: need to automatically qualify

Houston Chr’s résumé is built around a couple of respectable wins but marred by clear damaging moments on the road and in neutral plays, with the most concerning results coming at UC San Diego and at Georgia Southern and the neutral loss to Bellarmine, while a close defeat at North Texas showed fight without delivering a signature victory; its brighter signs are the home win over ULM and the road success at Citadel, yet those wins don’t supply the kind of resume currency that changes a committee’s view. The remaining slate hands them several chance-to-win home tests against New Orleans and Southeastern Louisiana and a home matchup with McNeese State, balanced against difficult trips to Nicholls State and Iowa State that will either repair or deepen the damage. Given the absence of a marquee nonconference scalp and the importance the committee places on road and neutral wins, Houston Chr’s standing now turns on how it performs in those remaining conference opportunities and whether it can pick up meaningful wins away from its own gym.
