Projection: need to automatically qualify

Cent Arkansas' profile reads like a team that can dominate at its own arena but has yet to prove it can travel, with impressive home blowouts over Eastern Washington, Eastern Illinois, and Arkansas Little Rock showing offensive upside while heavy losses at North Carolina and at Arkansas and road setbacks at North Texas and ETSU expose defensive and consistency problems away from home. The best moments are those commanding home wins that create a clear identity, the worst moments are the lopsided defeats on the road that will stick with committee members, and the remaining slate — including tough road tests at Vanderbilt and SMU and a conference sequence featuring FGCU, Stetson, Bellarmine, East Kentucky, Lipscomb and other league foes — presents straightforward opportunities to add a resume-changing result. Until Cent Arkansas converts one of those road or neutral chances into a signature outcome, the profile will be read as buoyed by quality home wins but substantially damaged by the severity of its losses away from home.
