Projection: need to automatically qualify

SE Louisiana’s profile is built around neutral-site wins over Gardner Webb and Navy that show the team can finish in hostile settings, but those positives are undercut by damaging road losses at Mississippi and LSU and by defeats at Georgia Tech, Mississippi State and UNC Wilmington. The lack of a signature victory against a major-conference opponent and the lopsided result at Mississippi leave questions about the ability to win meaningful games away from home. The Southland schedule still offers clear chances to improve with home dates against Houston Chr and Incarnate Word and a string of league road tests at McNeese St, SF Austin, Lamar and New Orleans where road success would materially alter the resume. Unless the team starts taking care of business in those league contests and avoids further bad road defeats, the most straightforward path to the NCAA field runs through claiming the conference’s automatic berth.
