Projection: need to automatically qualify

West Georgia’s resume is shaped by brutal road lessons at major-conference arenas and a handful of resume-building wins against mid-major peers; heavy losses at Nebraska, UCLA and Georgia Tech and a lopsided defeat at Georgia have erased much of the goodwill from wins over Citadel, Troy and Tennessee Tech, which show the team can beat comparable opponents but not yet survive true tests away from home. The nonconference slate produced few signature scalps and the defense looked particularly vulnerable in hostile environments, so the club’s path forward hinges on the conference run: home chances against Bellarmine, North Florida and Lipscomb are realistic opportunities to fortify the case while road dates at FGCU and other league venues are potential landmines that could deepen the damage. Overall the best moments prove competence against peer programs, the worst moments are damaging losses on the biggest stages, and the remaining schedule offers clear, practical ways to improve or further undercut the resume.
