Projection: need to automatically qualify

Prairie View’s resume points squarely toward needing the Southwestern Athletic Conference’s automatic berth because the few bright spots on the ledger are outweighed by damaging losses away from home against major-conference opponents; their best moments include a neutral-site win over North Florida and a gritty road victory at Southern along with narrow wins over Arkansas Pine Bluff and Mississippi Valley State, but those positives are swamped by heavy defeats at Wichita State, Oklahoma State, LSU and Texas A&M and by road setbacks at North Texas and South Dakota that expose a lack of quality results away from home. With the remaining schedule consisting mostly of league matchups such as home dates with TX Southern, Southern and Grambling and trips to Bethune-Cookman, Florida A&M and Ark Pine Bluff, the path to the field for Prairie View runs through winning the conference title rather than building a compelling at-large case.
