Projection: need to automatically qualify

Ga Southern’s profile leaves it dependent on a conference title to reach the field because the résumé mixes a handful of meaningful victories with a string of damaging losses. The team’s résumé has bright spots like road wins at FGCU and Gardner Webb and solid triumphs over Old Dominion and James Madison alongside a authoritative home showing against Georgia State, but those moments are offset by ugly neutral-site setbacks to Youngstown State and UT San Antonio and bad conference losses at Arkansas State, Troy and Texas State. Road defeats at major-conference venues can be forgiven, yet repeated defensive lapses have turned high-scoring efforts into undoing, and that inconsistency means the committee sees too many blemishes. Several true road chances remain at Georgia State, Appalachian State, James Madison and Marshall to erase those hurts, but until Ga Southern secures the league crown its path to the tournament is through winning the conference.
