Projection: need to automatically qualify

Old Dominion’s resume reads like a team that scheduled up but failed to land a signature result, with difficult road dates at Xavier and Villanova and a rough trip to George Washington producing some of the most damaging losses on the ledger. The high points are limited to a gritty home win over Norfolk State, a comfortable win over Morgan State and a competitive showing at Drexel, yet those moments come against opponents that won’t carry much weight with a committee, while blowouts at Xavier and Villanova and a road loss at William & Mary highlight the vulnerability. Road struggles loom large because the most valuable wins for an at-large profile come away from home or at neutral sites and those have been few, so the remaining opportunities — road tests at Richmond and George Mason, a neutral-ish trip to Maryland and home dates with James Madison and Coastal Carolina along with the busy conference grind to follow — will determine whether the resume can be repaired or remains defined by a tough nonconference slate and too many bad losses.
