Projection: need to automatically qualify

Ga Southern presents a resume built on high-scoring wins away from home and a handful of signature road victories at Old Dominion, Coastal Car, and FGCU, plus home statements against James Madison and Georgia State, but the profile is marred by defensive lapses and damaging results in neutral settings such as losses to Youngstown State and UT San Antonio and a heavy defeat at Florida State. Tight road defeats at Georgia Tech and East Carolina are redeeming in that they came against respectable opposition, yet the inability to slow opponents in several games undermines those near misses. The rest of the league slate gives Ga Southern clear chances to improve with winnable home dates and meaningful road tests at Marshall, James Madison, Louisiana, and ULM that will decide how the committee views the resume. In short, the combination of quality road wins and close losses keeps them viable but the neutral-site setbacks and defensive inconsistency mean they need to convert the remaining home opportunities and survive the tougher road trips to cement their standing.
