Projection: need to automatically qualify

Charleston Southern’s résumé is defined by big offensive nights against lesser nonconference foes and a handful of damaging setbacks that leave the profile fragile. Road wins at Citadel and East Carolina and dominant home performances against teams like North Florida and South Carolina State show the offense can pile up points, but those victories come against opponents that carry little weight for resume building. The more harmful moments are the heavy road losses at Virginia Tech and at South Carolina and the neutral-site defeat to Lindenwood, which expose clear struggles when the level of competition rises and leave the Buccaneers without a signature neutral or road win. The conference stretch ahead, with road tests at Richmond and Winthrop plus multiple home and neutral chances against familiar league opponents, gives Charleston Southern straightforward opportunities to pick up the sorts of wins that would blunt earlier damage and more favorably position them with the committee.
