Projection: need to automatically qualify
Florida International's season reads as a series of mixed signals: road wins at New Mexico State and at Middle Tennessee prove they can grind out victories away from home, but those bright spots are offset by brutal trips to Nebraska, LSU and Miami and damaging home setbacks to Liberty, Jacksonville State and Delaware that leave the résumé light on signature wins. The remaining conference slate, which includes a road test at Liberty plus games against Missouri State, Sam Houston State, Louisiana Tech, Middle Tennessee and WKU, gives the Panthers clear chances to reshape perceptions, yet until they add meaningful road wins against respected opponents their most reliable path into the NCAA Tournament is to take the Conference USA crown and claim the league's automatic bid.
