Projection: need to automatically qualify

Alabama A&M looks like a team that will have to earn its way to the NCAA tournament through the Southwestern AC tournament because its résumé is built on wins over mid- and lower‑level opponents such as Charleston Southern, Lindenwood and Tennessee State and road victories at Mississippi Valley State and Grambling along with a neutral‑site victory over Alabama State while its nonconference slate produced brutal road losses at Indiana and Clemson and a lopsided defeat at Lipscomb that exposed vulnerability away from home. Those heavy defeats against power conference competition and the lack of a signature win away from the league leave little room for an at‑large argument. The remaining schedule — a home rematch with Arkansas–Pine Bluff, road trips to Florida A&M and Bethune‑Cookman and rivalry and conference games against Alabama State, Grambling and Southern — gives the team obvious chances to pile up conference wins and lock up the automatic spot, but unless Alabama A&M proves it can win meaningful games away from home those late opportunities are its only reliable path.
