Projection: need to automatically qualify

Bradley’s résumé shows bright spots but not the kind of résumé-changing wins that catch a committee’s eye: comfortable home victories over Central Michigan and a home win over Washington State plus a neutral win over Liberty stand out, yet those results lack the heft of a true quadrant-caliber road or neutral victory. The profile is dragged down by neutral setbacks to St Bonaventure and UC San Diego and a road loss at San Francisco, which make the nonconference ledger look uneven and leave questions about how the offense performs in hostile settings. The remaining slate features several meaningful road tests at Belmont, Murray State and Northern Iowa and a handful of conference clashes that present clear chances to alter the conversation, but until Bradley grabs a signature result away from home or at a neutral site the combination of limited marquee wins and damaging losses keeps the team on the outside of the bubble picture.
