Projection: need to automatically qualify

Austin Peay’s projection to need the automatic bid is logical because the Governors have flashed their best résumé pieces on the road with wins at Air Force and UNC Greensboro and solid league road wins at FGCU and North Florida, showing they can win in hostile settings, but those high points are offset by damaging losses at Wyoming, Mississippi and Tulsa and a bruising road defeat at Bellarmine plus a home setback to Central Arkansas that undermine any at-large argument. The team split results with a key conference rival in Lipscomb and lacks a marquee nonconference signature to sway a selection body, so the only clear path out of doubt is to capture the ASUN title on the neutral site where games against Stetson, Queens College and other conference foes represent the immediate opportunities to change the picture.
