Projection: need to automatically qualify
Lamar’s profile balances a handful of resume-building moments with several damaging setbacks, and that mix explains its present standing. Road wins at ULM and at Montana and a clean result against Louisiana show the team can win away from home and notch meaningful nonconference victories, yet those bright spots are offset by heavy defeats at TCU and at San Diego State and a lopsided home loss to Oakland that raise questions about how the team performs against top competition. A surprising loss to TAM C. Christi further undercuts the resume because committee voters pay attention to bad home results, while neutral and true road success remains limited overall. The remaining conference slate presents multiple opportunities to solidify the profile with quality road wins at the likes of McNeese State and New Orleans or by closing out at home against conference opponents such as Houston Christian, but the team must avoid more bad losses if it wants to move up.
