Projection: need to automatically qualify

Delaware’s résumé has a couple of respectable highlights—a home victory over St Peter’s and a neutral-site win against UNC Greensboro—but those flashes are outweighed by damaging outcomes such as the heavy losses at BYU and to Iona, the neutral setback to Southern Illinois, and the surprising road defeat at Delaware State that committees remember. The nonconference body of work does not include many marquee scalp to erase that damage, so the remaining conference slate is decisive: wins at George Washington, Sam Houston State, New Mexico State and Liberty would go a long way, while home opportunities against the likes of CS Northridge, Rider, Missouri State, Jacksonville State, Kennesaw, UTEP, Liberty, MTSU, Florida International and WKU give Delaware a chance to rebuild the résumé, but they must start taking care of business away from home and avoid any more bad losses to change their standing.
