Projection: need to automatically qualify

Maryland Eastern Shore’s profile is defined by a couple of modest résumé builders and a string of damaging road defeats, most notably on the road at Georgia, Texas, Nebraska and Creighton, which undercut the value of the program’s bright spots like the gritty road win at Longwood and the neutral-site victory over Binghamton. A narrow result at Canisius and a competitive outing at Georgia Tech show they can compete in spurts but those moments are overshadowed by a home setback to Hampton and several lopsided losses away from home that selection committees view as costly. The remainder of the schedule hands them plenty of chances to pile up conference wins against the likes of Morgan State, Coppin State and Delaware State but those victories offer limited signature value, while the true upside comes only if they can pull off an upset on the road at a higher-level opponent such as American, Virginia or Virginia Tech.
