Projection: need to automatically qualify

Georgia State’s résumé is defined by a few solid Sun Belt wins, most notably the home victory over Marshall and road wins at Appalachian State and Coastal Carolina, but those moments are outweighed by damaging nonconference and road losses at South Dakota State, Arizona State and Cincinnati and by a shocker to Presbyterian that undercuts any at-large argument. The team has shown it can beat league opponents but has rarely done it against higher-caliber opponents away from home, and neutral-site losses to Samford and New Mexico State offer little signature value. With the rest of the slate largely made up of Sun Belt opponents such as Southern Miss, Arkansas State and Louisiana and a difficult run of road assignments, Georgia State can improve its standing yet lacks remaining opportunities to secure a marquee nonconference win, so the cleanest, most realistic route to the national field is to capture the conference’s automatic berth.
