Projection: need to automatically qualify

Kansas’s resume features impressive neutral-site wins over Tennessee, Syracuse and Notre Dame and a tough road victory at NC State that show they can beat strong opponents away from home. Those highlights are undermined by damaging losses at North Carolina, at UCF and at West Virginia and by narrow defeats to Duke and Connecticut that expose inconsistency against elite competition. The conference schedule still offers clear chances to swing the resume in their favor with games at Kansas State and at Arizona plus home confrontations with Baylor and Iowa State and a road trip to Texas Tech, and success in those settings would erase much of the earlier damage. Overall the profile reads like a capable league contender that needs signature road or neutral wins to lock up its standing.
