Projection: need to automatically qualify
Houston Christian’s resume reads like a team that will need to win the Southland’s automatic bid because its few bright spots are wins over lower-tier conference foes and a road victory at Citadel while its résumé is otherwise defined by ugly road and neutral defeats such as trips to Iowa State, UC San Diego, Georgia Southern and a neutral loss to Bellarmine, plus setbacks at conference powers like SF Austin and North Texas, so the selection committee would see too little evidence of quality wins away from home; the remaining schedule — a home chance against Nicholls St, road swings to Northwestern Louisiana and East Texas A&M, and a home test with SF Austin and Lamar — offers a handful of realistic opportunities to change that perception but nothing here yet forces an at-large case.
