Projection: need to automatically qualify

Chattanooga's resume presents a mixed bag that makes for a challenging path to an at-large bid; they simply lack the strong overall profile necessary to receive serious NCAA consideration. Their performance against high-profile opponents like USC and St. Mary's suggests struggles against elite competition and highlights a glaring weakness in the defense, which ranks poorly compared to their offense. Wins against teams like Wofford and Furman show they can compete within their conference, but those victories might not hold enough weight against a subpar scheduling profile. The remaining games against UNC Greensboro and VMI are critical; they will need to secure wins to maintain momentum and bolster their standing in the Southern Conference. If they stumble in these matchups, especially against teams they’re favored to beat, their chances for an automatic bid could slim down further.
