Projection: need to automatically qualify

Coastal Carolina's resume is concerning, primarily due to a lack of quality wins and significant struggles against both ranked and unranked opponents. A narrow victory against a weak Western Michigan team stands out, but failures against better teams like NC State and Arkansas State highlight defensive vulnerabilities and inconsistent offense. The losses to Georgia Southern, James Madison, and Southern Miss further paint a troubling picture. To improve their standing, they must capitalize on upcoming games against lower-mid-tier teams while desperately seeking a marquee win to truly bolster their chances for an at-large bid. Winning out in the Sun Belt Conference could be their best route to the tournament, but it remains a steep uphill battle.
