Projection: need to automatically qualify

Alabama A&M’s profile shows enough quality home victories against the likes of Charleston So, Lindenwood, Tennessee St, and North Alabama to keep them in the conversation while being undermined by heavy road setbacks at Indiana, Clemson, and Lipscomb and a neutral-site loss to Mississippi, which exposes a clear inability so far to win away from their own floor. Those damaging results on the road and in neutral settings cancel much of the goodwill from the nonconference home wins and leave the committee wanting a signature road or neutral triumph. The conference slate that follows hands the program straightforward opportunities to fix that imbalance with true road tests at Arkansas Pine Bluff, Mississippi Valley State and Alabama State as well as home chances against Alcorn State and Jackson State and a tune-up against Chattanooga, so a strong run through those games would repair the resume while continued split results will leave the season defined by those early blowouts.
