Projection: need to automatically qualify

St. Joseph's resume carries some encouraging moments, namely home wins over Lafayette and Drexel and a gritty neutral victory over Princeton, but it is undercut by a crushing road loss at Virginia Tech and further road setbacks at Penn and UNLV that reveal trouble winning away from its own floor; those heavy defeats loom larger than the modest quality of its home triumphs. The committee will weigh those bad road results heavily while looking for signature wins away from home, so the lack of meaningful victories in hostile environments keeps the profile precarious. The remaining schedule gives clear paths to improve with true road tests at Syracuse, St. Louis, VCU, Rhode Island and Davidson and easier chances at home against teams like St Bonaventure and La Salle, so how St. Joseph's performs in those venues will determine whether the current view changes.
