Projection: need to automatically qualify

Ga Southern’s résumé is a study in contrast, with hard-fought road wins at FGCU and Gardner Webb and nonconference victories over Louisiana Tech and Houston Chr showing the team can grind out results outside its building while close losses at Georgia Tech and East Carolina suggest it can compete with better competition. The heavy loss at Florida St and neutral-site setbacks to Youngstown St and UT San Antonio are the blemishes that will stick with a committee because they undercut the résumé’s upside. Remaining conference games give clear pathways to repair the profile, with road tests at Old Dominion, Coastal Car, South Alabama and a brutal trip to Marshall offering opportunities for signature road or neutral wins and a slate of home dates against Georgia St, Texas St and Appalachian St that ought to be maximized to avoid sliding further. Taken together the season’s best moments prove the team can win outside its comfort zone and the worst results show why there is work to do, and the coming stretch of conference matchups will determine whether those early positives hold or the damaging losses define the season.
