Projection: need to automatically qualify
Austin Peay’s profile reads like a classic midmajor resume that features eye-catching road wins but enough troubling losses to keep the committee uncomfortable. Victories away at Air Force and UNC Greensboro and a nonconference triumph over Northern Illinois show the team can win on the road, yet setbacks at Wyoming and Mississippi and an inexplicable defeat at UTRGV are resume blemishes that are hard to overlook. The absence of a signature neutral-site victory amplifies that damage, even as the Atlantic Sun schedule still offers clear chances to add quality results with road tests at FGCU and Lipscomb and key home dates against North Florida and Bellarmine. With those opportunities remaining, the quickest way to remove doubt is to win the conference’s automatic berth.
