Projection: need to automatically qualify

Florida A&M’s profile reads like a team that will have to secure its league’s automatic ticket because the nonconference slate is characterized by heavy defeats at high-major arenas such as South Florida, UCF, Georgia, TCU and Georgia Tech while its best wins are confined to league opposition and low-major road sites including Arkansas–Pine Bluff and Mississippi Valley State, plus home victories over Southern and Grambling and a high-scoring outing against Prairie View. The club did respond by beating Jacksonville at home after dropping the earlier meeting on the road, but it lacks a true neutral-site or quality road triumph that would carry weight with a committee. Road results against stronger opponents have been damaging and a handful of narrow conference setbacks, including the loss at Jackson State and tight results on the road in Alabama, have further undercut any at-large case. Upcoming league dates that include trips to Alcorn State, Southern and Grambling and home games with Alabama A&M, Alabama State and Bethune–Cookman are the clear opportunities to improve seeding and they represent the only realistic path to the national field.
