Projection: need to automatically qualify
Citadel’s résumé is defined more by damage than by signature wins: the nonconference slate included a heavy defeat at Boston College and road setbacks at Davidson and South Carolina that weighed on its profile, while the team’s clearest positives were competitive showings at Charleston Southern and West Georgia and steady home efforts against Bellarmine and Houston Christian that at least revealed offensive promise. A neutral-site stumble against Presbyterian and a persistent inability to win away from home have left the résumé thin on the kind of quality victories committees prize. The Southern Conference schedule still offers chances to change that story, with winnable dates at home and a string of true road tests against the likes of VMI, Wofford, Mercer, UNC Greensboro, Furman, ETSU, Samford and Chattanooga where road or neutral wins would be the only way to offset the earlier damage.
