Projection: need to automatically qualify

Cent Arkansas is in a tough position with a season that features multiple heavy losses against both top-tier and mid-tier opponents, indicating defensive struggles that will ultimately hold them back. Games against BYU and Utah illustrate how far they’ve been outmatched, and the defeat against Western Illinois at the bottom of the rankings shows inconsistency even against weaker competition. Their few wins, such as the close game against UNC Asheville, do provide some hope, but overall, their computer rankings and the challenging road ahead—with matchups against teams like Lipscomb and North Alabama—mean they will likely need to secure the automatic bid from the Atlantic Sun to have a shot at the tournament.
