Projection: need to automatically qualify
Cent Arkansas is facing a steep uphill battle this season, starting with a winless record and heavy losses to stronger opponents like BYU and Utah. These games highlighted their defensive struggles, particularly when they allowed significant point differentials. The upcoming matchups also paint a bleak picture, with low chances of success against teams like Georgia Tech and Oklahoma, suggesting their inability to compete consistently at a higher level. To enhance their standing, they must secure victories against lower-tier teams like Queens NC and Arkansas Pine Bluff, but even those games are far from guaranteed—a slip-up there could further deteriorate their profile. The path to tournament contention hinges on a significant turnaround that seems unlikely given their current trajectory.
