Projection: need to automatically qualify

Bethune-Cookman’s profile is built around a valuable road win at Ohio and competitive road outings at Auburn and Dayton and a tight neutral-site game with Jacksonville, which prove the team can win away from home, but the résumé is marred by lopsided road defeats at Miami and Indiana and a loss at Stony Brook that expose defensive inconsistency. The remaining slate includes winnable conference trips against Florida A&M, Grambling, Jackson State, Alcorn State, Prairie View and Texas Southern and home chances to claim control of the league, while looming nonconference road tests at Missouri, St. Louis, Arizona and Oklahoma State represent true résumé-defining opportunities. If the Wildcats clean up the bad losses and collect road or neutral victories in those marquee spots, their position will improve markedly, but until then the quality of the losses keeps the résumé on the precarious side.
