Projection: need to automatically qualify

East Texas A&M’s profile is driven by a few modest high points and a string of damaging defeats that explain the current outlook. The best moments are a gritty road win at F Dickinson, a neutral victory over Army, a home triumph over Central Arkansas and a squeeze-out win at SE Louisiana, but those wins live alongside heavy road losses at New Mexico, Hawaii and Connecticut and blowouts at McNeese State, Texas A&M and at home against SF Austin that leave the resume short on meaningful wins away from campus. With so many bad losses to major opponents, the path forward depends on converting the remaining home chances against UTRGV and TAM C. Christi and stealing results at hostile venues such as SF Austin and McNeese State while piling up wins against midlevel conference rivals, because without more true road or neutral victories the team’s only secure route to the big dance runs through a strong performance in conference postseason play.
