Projection: need to automatically qualify

Florida A&M’s résumé is defined more by damaging losses to bigger programs than by signature wins, with lopsided road trips to Georgia, UCF and South Florida and a tough home setback to Kennesaw offset only slightly by a competitive road outing at Jacksonville that showed the team can battle away from home. Upcoming opportunities at TCU and Georgia Tech would be rare resume changers if they go the right way, so the realistic path to improve runs through the Southwestern AC slate and the league tournament, where home dates with Alcorn State and Jackson State and softer road assignments at Mississippi Valley State and Arkansas–Pine Bluff present clear chances to pile up victories. That mix of brutal nonconference defeats, a single encouraging road performance, and a conference schedule that still offers many winnable games explains why their current standing makes sense.
