Projection: need to automatically qualify

Citadel's résumé is short on eye-catching wins and weighed down by several lopsided defeats away from home against higher-profile opponents, most notably the road loss at Boston College and the neutral-site setback against Presbyterian. Its brightest signs are competitive outings at College Charleston and at West Georgia and tighter performances against Charleston Southern and Wofford, which suggest the team can hang in games but still lacks a marquee victory to counter the damaging losses. The remainder of the league slate includes crucial road trips to Mercer, UNC Greensboro, Furman and Wofford and home opportunities versus VMI, Samford and Chattanooga, and capturing wins away from campus or at neutral sites in those spots would materially alter the narrative; if those chances slip by, the profile will remain defined by bad losses rather than quality wins.
