Projection: need to automatically qualify

Alabama State’s nonconference slate produced a couple of respectable flashes—a road victory at UAB and a dominant neutral-site win over IUPUI with a competitive outing at New Mexico—but those moments are overwhelmed by a pattern of damaging road defeats at high-major programs such as Florida State, Colorado, Cincinnati and Mississippi State and by unexpected losses to conference peers like Southern and Grambling, which together leave the résumé thin on signature wins and consistent success away from home. Given the lack of marquee victories and the number of bad losses, the clearest and most realistic path into the NCAA field runs through winning the Southwestern AC tournament to secure the conference’s automatic bid.
