Projection: need to automatically qualify

Houston Christian's profile is defined by meaningful road wins at Citadel and New Orleans and a home triumph over ULM, but those bright spots are offset by ugly losses at UC San Diego and Georgia Southern, a close defeat at North Texas, a painful home setback to McNeese State and a neutral-site loss to Bellarmine. That mix leaves the committee inclined to respect the team's ability to win away from home while remaining uneasy about consistency and how it fares against stronger opposition. The remaining slate includes a daunting trip to Iowa State that is unlikely to swing the resume in their favor and a series of league dates at home and on the road against familiar Southland rivals where wins would offer the clearest path to repair the profile. In short, the resume shows flashes that matter but also damaging results, and upcoming conference opportunities represent the most direct way to change how the team is viewed.
