Projection: need to automatically qualify

Georgia State’s résumé lacks the kind of high-end victories a committee rewards. Nonconference trips produced defeats at E Michigan, Cincinnati and Arizona State and neutral-site setbacks to Samford and New Mexico State, and the season includes an ugly blowout at South Dakota State and a string of losses away from home that undercut the team’s credibility. The team’s best moments are narrow wins over conference peers such as Marshall at home and road victories at Appalachian State and ULM along with solid home wins over Arkansas State and Southern Miss, but those results come against midlevel opposition and do not offset the absence of a signature road or neutral win. Given the accumulation of poor road results and late conference defeats, the sole realistic path for this roster to reach the NCAA field is claiming the Sun Belt’s automatic spot.
