Jacksonville's resume is built around a rare road victory at VMI and a neutral win over Bethune‑Cookman while a string of heavy defeats at Miami, Texas A&M, Florida State, George Mason and Florida International have produced damaging losses that undercut those positives. The roster has shown it can beat lower‑level opponents at home but has struggled to score and defend on major road trips and even split results with Florida A&M, which weakens the nonconference case. The remainder of the schedule offers several manageable home dates against North Florida and Stetson and a number of tense road tests at Lipscomb and FGCU along with chances to add meaningful neutral or road wins, yet the most straightforward path for this resume to reach the field lies in winning the conference tournament.
