Projection: need to automatically qualify

Incarnate Word’s résumé fits the projection because it contains a handful of encouraging moments but is weighted toward damaging losses. The team’s best work came in a home win over McNeese St, a neutral-site victory over Southern Indiana, and a gritty road win at TAM C. Christi, yet those highlights are overshadowed by lopsided losses at Colorado St and at Indiana and by several road setbacks within the league including trips to New Orleans and Nicholls St. With few signature nonconference wins and limited success away from home, the resume lacks the kind of portfolio that earns an at-large ticket, so the practical path to the field runs through winning the Southland automatic berth.
