Projection: need to automatically qualify

Alcorn State’s résumé is defined by a brutal nonconference gauntlet on the road against major-conference opponents and a lone neutral-site victory that functions as the program’s best moment. Heavy defeats at Florida State, Minnesota, Maryland and a set of other power-conference venues left the profile thin on quality wins away from home and exposed on defense when facing top opponents, while the neutral win over Indiana State is a useful proof point that the team can compete under the right circumstances. The remaining conference slate contains multiple realistic opportunities to rebuild the resume with better results on the road and at home, but until those opportunities are seized the narrative is of a team that struggled through a tough early schedule and must rely on its league run to shift how the committee views the body of work.
