Projection: need to automatically qualify

Central Michigan's resume faces significant challenges, especially given the lack of quality wins and a weak overall record. The victory over South Alabama stands out, but losses to low-ranked opponents like Stony Brook and repeated struggles against Ohio and Bowling Green suggest inconsistency and vulnerability. The team's inability to compete against strong programs like Arizona and Mississippi State further highlights their shortcomings. To bolster their standing, they desperately need to secure wins in conference play against stronger Mid-American teams like Akron and Ohio, as those matchups can potentially enhance their overall profile ahead of the tournament.
