Projection: need to automatically qualify

Delaware St’s résumé is driven more by how it performed on the road than by any signature victories, with lopsided trips to Syracuse and Miami Florida and tough losses at Temple and UMBC leaving little evidence that it can beat quality opponents away from home. The most encouraging moment was the competitive home game against Navy, which suggests the team can compete with comparable mid‑majors, but that outing is overshadowed by the difficult nonconference slate. The remainder of the schedule contains obvious chances to rebuild the résumé through home wins over Coppin State and Morgan State and through road results at Longwood or St Joseph’s PA or the daunting trip to Rutgers, while the meeting with Delaware is a clear opportunity for a resume‑changing result. Until some of those road opportunities are converted, the committee will weigh the severity of the early defeats against a slate of conference opponents that offers paths to redemption.
