Projection: need to automatically qualify

Kent’s resume pairs a handful of impressive neutral-site and road victories—notably wins over Cleveland State and Wright State and a gritty road triumph at Massachusetts and nonconference wins at UNC Wilmington and Cornell—with a pair of damaging setbacks that expose defensive frailties, most glaringly the blowout trip to Purdue and the surprising home loss to Troy. Close defeats at Central Michigan and the setback at Portland show the margin for error is slim, so the remaining slate of conference games—road tests at Buffalo, Toledo and Akron along with key home opportunities against Ohio and Toledo—are where Kent can either lock this profile in by adding quality wins away from home or leave the damaging losses as the defining storyline.
