Projection: need to automatically qualify

Gardner‑Webb’s profile is defined by a brutal nonconference slate and a shortage of résumé‑building wins, with long trips to Minnesota, Clemson, Tennessee, Richmond and DePaul turning into lopsided defeats and neutral-site showings at Navy and against SE Louisiana failing to provide a counterbalance. The brightest flashes are a close outing at Ga Southern and the competitive neutral game with SE Louisiana, but those moments do little to erase the pattern of heavy losses and poor results away from home. The rest of the season is almost entirely conference play, with home dates against Radford, Presbyterian, Longwood, SC Upstate and Charleston Southern and road chances at Winthrop, UNC Asheville and High Point, so there are clear opportunities to repair the resume; until Gardner‑Webb turns home opportunities into wins or pulls off a road upset, the current body of work leaves very little margin for error.
