Projection: need to automatically qualify

Ga Southern’s résumé reads like a mix of bright flashes and worrisome lapses that explains a projection that leans toward needing an automatic berth. The program’s best moments came in a gritty road win at FGCU and a late-game triumph over UNC Asheville and were reinforced by a tight showing at Georgia Tech that showed the team can compete away from home. Those positives are offset by a blowout defeat at Florida State and road losses at East Carolina along with neutral-site setbacks to Youngstown State and UT San Antonio that blunt the impact of the good wins. The upcoming Sun Belt slate presents clear chances to swing the profile with home dates against Georgia State and Old Dominion and road tests at Coastal Carolina, James Madison and Marshall that will either add the kind of road or neutral victories the committee rewards or pile on more damaging results.
