Projection: likely out
Bowling Green projects as a team on the outside because its résumé is defined by a headline-grabbing road win at Kansas State that is largely offset by damaging setbacks such as home defeats to Utah Valley and Akron and road losses at Davidson and Kent along with the home loss to Miami Ohio. Most of the other nonconference victories came against low-level opponents and neutral-site foes that will not move the needle for a committee, while its better road wins at Ohio, Massachusetts and Western Michigan demonstrate the team can win away from home but do not erase the bad losses. The result is a résumé with a clear top moment but too many blemishes, and the remaining conference slate, highlighted by trips to Toledo and Miami Ohio and key games against Buffalo and Kent at home, represents the only realistic path to rehab the profile.
