Projection: need to automatically qualify
Marshall’s résumé is built on impressive nonconference road wins at Massachusetts and Toledo and a big neutral victory over Elon that prove this team can win away from home. Those highs are blunted by a lopsided loss at Virginia, a damaging home defeat to Lipscomb and tight setbacks at UNC Wilmington and at Ohio that leave the profile vulnerable to scrutiny. With a conference slate that still includes home tests against WKU and Wright St along with important road dates at Troy, James Madison, Arkansas State and Old Dominion and several home games versus Georgia State, Appalachian State and Southern Miss, Marshall has clear opportunities to improve but will need more quality road or neutral wins and a run of clean results to erase the impact of its worst losses.
