Projection: need to automatically qualify

Charlotte’s resume centers on a handful of low-end nonconference victories such as Indiana State, Tennessee Tech and NC A&T while suffering damaging losses at Utah State, Virginia Tech and Appalachian State that carry outsized weight with a committee. Neutral-site setbacks to Illinois State and Richmond plus a home defeat to Davidson underscore a lack of signature wins, and the team’s trouble away from home has left the profile short on proof it can beat quality opponents in hostile environments. The American schedule still hands Charlotte meaningful chances to change perception with road tests at Memphis and Wichita State and important home games against conference names like Florida Atlantic and UAB, and turning those opportunities into wins would erase much of the damage while splitting or losing them would leave the resume defined by soft wins and a string of bad losses.
