Projection: need to automatically qualify

Elon’s résumé balances some resume-enhancing road performances with damaging blemishes, so the projection fits the profile: road wins at UNC Greensboro and Hofstra and a narrow trip to Virginia Tech showcase an offense that can score away from home, while a lopsided loss at Miami and sloppy results such as the home setback to Towson plus road defeats at Marshall and College of Charleston leave the committee wary. Most of the best moments came away from their gym and those victories carry extra weight, but too many neutral or road failures would blunt the case. The closing stretch offers several clear opportunities to change the narrative with games at Hampton and at William & Mary and with home dates against Drexel and NC A&T, and the meetings with UNC Wilmington will be particularly telling for whether the offense’s flashes turn into a résumé the committee can endorse.
