Projection: need to automatically qualify

Houston Christian’s resume has a few bright moments but more damaging results that leave the committee unconvinced. Road wins at New Orleans and at Citadel and a solid nonconference victory over ULM are the kinds of outcomes that matter, yet those are outweighed by lopsided trips to Iowa State and UC San Diego and a damaging home loss to McNeese State. A competitive outing at North Texas and flashes of toughness on the road suggest the team can rise to the level of better opposition, but inconsistent league play and an absence of marquee neutral-site victories keep the profile thin. The remaining slate against league opponents like TAM C. Christi, SF Austin and McNeese State represents a clear chance to erase bad losses and pile up resume-building road wins, and unless those opportunities are seized the combination of poor results away from home and too few meaningful wins explains why the committee would view this resume skeptically.
