Projection: need to automatically qualify
Buffalo's resume presents significant challenges for an at-large bid, primarily due to a weak computer ranking and a shaky record against quality opponents. The team has suffered losses to Notre Dame and Georgia, both significant programs, and their inability to secure wins against mid-tier teams like Bryant and Vermont further complicates their standing. They did manage a close victory over Old Dominion, but it lacks the weight of a signature win. Upcoming games, especially against Akron and Ohio, will be critical; winning these matchups could improve their résumé, but the inconsistencies on both offense and defense leave plenty of room for concern.
