Projection: need to automatically qualify

Jacksonville State’s profile reads like a team that can win away from home but still lacks the kind of marquee victories that sway a committee; its most persuasive moments are road wins at WKU, Delaware and ETSU plus home wins over MTSU and Louisiana Tech, while its narrative is damaged by a neutral-site loss to North Dakota State, a bad home setback to Sam Houston State and losses at Liberty and Arkansas State. That mix leaves the resume light on signature scalps and heavy on inconsistency, so the remaining slate matters a great deal. Road dates at Louisiana Tech and Sam Houston State, a home date with Delaware and the matchup with Liberty are clear opportunities to change perception, and unless those turns into eye-catching road wins the safest route for this squad to reach the big dance is to go through the conference championship.
