Projection: need to automatically qualify

NE Omaha’s resume is shaped by a few competitive neutral-site showings against respectable nonconference opponents and a home victory over Southern Utah that prove the team can compete, but those positives are offset by damaging road and neutral losses at places like Colorado State and LSU and an ugly trip to Florida International that expose vulnerability away from home. The best moments are the close neutral contests that suggest upside, the worst moments are the lopsided defeats that a committee will view as road red flags, and the remaining slate contains a mix of manageable Summit League matchups and a couple of true road tests at Oregon, Oral Roberts, and South Dakota State where a win would transform perception. Success away from home and a few reliable conference wins are the clear path to improving the resume while continued road struggles will leave questions about consistency and résumé quality.
