Projection: need to automatically qualify

Jacksonville State is essentially hostage to the conference tournament because its résumé shows flashes of credibility but not enough high-end proof to earn an at-large ticket; the defense of road grit comes from wins at WKU and at ETSU and solid results at Delaware and Florida International, yet those bright spots are offset by a neutral-site collapse against North Dakota State and an inability to solve Liberty in their meetings, and repeated tight defeats at New Mexico State and at Sam Houston State have left the resume with too many damaging blemishes; with limited marquee scalps and more harmful losses than signature triumphs, the only path that meaningfully alters their standing is a deep, unbeaten run through the conference bracket that takes down the league’s stronger clubs.
