Projection: need to automatically qualify

The projection that Northwestern LA will need the automatic qualifier stems from a resume whose heavy losses at major programs such as Texas A&M, North Texas and San Francisco overshadow narrow conference wins at home over New Orleans and similar opponents. Road and neutral results have offered more trouble than proof and a leaky defense compounded poor outings at McNeese State and Nicholls State, so the remaining conference slate against those same league foes represents the clearest path to the tournament because wins there would be the only way for the committee to see a signature turnaround.
