Projection: need to automatically qualify

Alabama A&M’s résumé has a clear shape: respectable wins over mid-major opponents like Charleston Southern, Lindenwood and Tennessee State demonstrate they can handle peer competition, but those positives have been undercut by lopsided road defeats at Indiana and Clemson and damaging losses at Lipscomb, Coastal Carolina and a neutral-site setback to Mississippi that highlight problems away from home. Their best moments came in the steady victories over lesser opponents, while the worst were the emphatic losses to high-major programs that a committee will remember. The remaining schedule offers a string of conference chances and several true road tests at Arkansas–Pine Bluff, Mississippi Valley State, Alabama State and Prairie View alongside home dates with Alcorn State, Jackson State, Florida A&M, Bethune–Cookman, Southern University and Grambling, and wins in those spots—especially on the road or at neutral sites—are the clearest way to repair the résumé.
