Projection: likely out
Bowling Green’s résumé is built around a marquee road victory at Kansas State and neutral-site nonconference wins over Bucknell and VMI that show the team can win away from home and in tournament-like settings, but those high points are offset by damaging setbacks including a road loss at Davidson and nonconference defeats to William & Mary and Utah Valley that leave the profile thin outside the Kansas State result. Most other nonconference wins came against low-end opposition and add little quality, so league play becomes the proving ground with road tests at Ohio and Kent and high-profile home dates against Akron and Buffalo standing out as the opportunities to change the narrative. If Bowling Green can win the tougher on-the-road games and avoid more bad losses in those matchups it will solidify its standing, but continued inconsistency against respectable opponents keeps the resume on shaky ground.
